Description Jakub Kucharski 2013-12-18 21:58:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
mutt can't save an SSL certficate on start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mutt-1.5.21-26.fc20

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start mutt, it connects to IMAP server
2. answer (a)ccept at the mutt "SSL Certficate check" dialog
3. I get "Warning: Couldn't save certificate", normal connection proceeds
  
Actual results:
When I use mutt to connect to an IMAP server the mutt "SSL Certficate check (certificate 1 of 3 in chain)" causes the following dialog to be presented:
(r)eject, accept (o)nce, (a)ccept always

When I (a)ccept the certificate I get "Warning: Couldn't save certificate"
Mutt goes on to properly connect to the IMAP server, download messages, etc.
This now occurs _everytime_ I start mutt.

Expected results:
Saved SSL Certificate.

Note:
This bug was reported for Fedora 11 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499390) , but I see it's back in Fedora 20, so I cloned it.

In .muttrc, do you have a line like this?

set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates

(then mkdir ~/.mutt)

Mutt doesn't have a default certificate store.

Yes. Thank you. That helped.
