Not true anymore (used to be though)... we use self-signed certs (and 
have been for a long time).

Now, when you first connect, you get a prompt that you just have to say 
'Continue' and it installs the cert permanently, although you have to do 
it twice (once for inbound server, and once for outbound, if the server 
name is different).

I still for the life of me don't understand why Apple (and Thunderbird 
for that matter), usually so good at the whole 'user experience' thing, 
doesn't default to, or even allow you to manually choose an option to 
'Use same username/password for sending as receiving'...
