It appears that if you delete all the unsigned certs, then set up the
account using all the proper ports and auth types, then just restart
thunderbird, it works as expected. Upon restarting thunderbird, it
will prompt you to "confirm security exception", then it automatically
imports the cert for 993. It somehow seemed to automatically import
the cert for 587.

Can someone else confirm that restarting Thunderbird is a way around
having to manually import the certs or change them later through the
account settings menu?

Does anyone have any experience with configuring Outlook to use
self-signed certs?

Thanks,
Alex
