How do I import a mail certificate?

I found the settings to Manage Certificates, but the only clear way to import a cert is a file system import. I can't download a mail certificate because when I visit https://mail.example.com:995 I get an error saying this port is not available in the browser, for my protection. So if I can't visit the URL, how the heck do I import a certificate?

I actually have the certificate stored on my SD card now. But I still don't know how to import it. When I look at the Certificate management GUI, I don't see a way to pull a certificate in from another directory. I just see "Select Certificate" and no certificates.

Please let us know if your problem is resolved, or if you have any other questions about your Firefox OS device.

Thanks,

Bug 874346 may have links to an explanation of how to import a certificate from a command line, but I want to make clear that the bugs that would address this situation are the system bugs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769183 or https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=867899

Just adding that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1106393 would be a start. The certificate issues are a problem, but the fact that the documentation ignores them makes users think we're losing our minds.
