I must be missing something really obvious, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to view the SSL certificate for an IMAP (or POP) server within Thunderbird.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Security > View Certificates doesn't show the IMAP server cert.
I found nothing in Tools > Account Settings either.
The server shows up as secure (locked icon), and I have verified that I am connected via SSL.
If the cert isn't quite right (like name mismatch), I do get a box prompting me to "view the certificate". That's exactly what I want to access, but I can't find a way to do so if the cert is working properly.
Any ideas?
(Note, this is not a personal S/MIME cert or anything like that; I can view those without any trouble.)
how to view imap server SSL certificate?

I think it is listed as "Web Site" certificate in the Certificate Manager yo mentioned.
Extensions for Thunderbird: <a href="http://jpeters.no-ip.com/extensions/?page=tb_cs">Contacts Sidebar</a>, <a href="http://jpeters.no-ip.com/extensions/?page=tb_ts">Timestamp</a> and <a href="http://jpeters.no-ip.com/extensions/?page=tb_aes">Allow Empty Subject</a>

Jeroen,
Thanks for your response. Yes, that's where I would have expected it too. I have one site listed there, and it happens to correspond to one of my IMAP servers. But I have another IMAP server and a POP server whose certs should also be available -- but they're not...
Any other ideas?
Seems like the perfect thing for a Thunderbird extension, but the cert-related extensions I've found all relate to S/MIME cert management.
