Impossible: Secure Mobile Mail Reading w/ Nokia S40 (6233) and self-signed CA certificate Leave a Comment

Last time I wrote about the cheap'n'easy web access via my old Nokia 6233 and the eeePC. 

Next challange: using the build-in eMail program to read mail via imap(ssl) - for fast eMail checks. 

Well - impossible with this Nokia 6233, at least if your imap server has a certificate of an self-signed CA (like cacert.org or your own CA). S40 based mobiles seem to require the CA certificate for import to be in WPKI format - rather than S60, which accept X.509/DES - and I could not find any (free) converters.

Does anybody know one?

Here are some links, I found interesting:

Sometimes one figures out how bad products are...years after buying them :-/
