This “Servers” horizontal tab collects only exceptions that you have manually approved. It does not cache CA-validated certificates. This is normal.

If you need to view CA-validated certificates, the other steps below are one easy and free way to do this.

Steps to view CA-validated certificates:

  1. Using your favourite internet browser, such as Firefox 91, go to the URL hosting the mail server certificate. For example, go to https://mailbox.org

  2. Using Firefox, click on the small lock button. Which is located on the left side of the URL field.

  3. Click on the ~“Secured connection” line

  4. Click on ~“More information” line

  5. Click on ~“View certificate” button
