The email application will not connect to Dreamhost servers. Possibly because of how they setup their SSL certificate for their subdomains.
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Certificate_Domain_Mismatch_Error
Dreamhost's SSL certificate for their email servers only match one subdomain level while many of their email clusters exist on a second subdomain level. I believe this is resulting in a "bad security" error message from the email application.
I have contacted DreamHost and they claim are unable to fix this issue, nor will they allow me to setup a SSL certificate on my virtual domain pointing to my email cluster (even if I were to purchase one.)
I understand it may be possible to manually add certificates via adb in a manner similar to this: http://www.pending.io/add-cacert-root-certificate-to-firefox-os/
However from what I have read this: 1. Does not work on the ZTE Open 2. May only fix web browsing not the email client.
Is there any option available to me short of switching email hosts?

Fabian,
Are you familiar with Firefox OS? The reason I say this is because the email client cannot create a certificate excaption. This is actually by design. This is by design: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gaia/Email/Features#Security
This support request at Mozilla was placed specifically for the Firefox OS product, for which only a single email client exists.
That being said the good folks on the Mozilla Bugzilla, were able to show me how to look up another alias for these servers which does in fact work and does in fact match the SSL certificates. Though Dreamhost support could not provide me with said information, and said information does not in fact exist in the DreamHost wiki.
I find repeated insistance from Dreamhost represenatives that I should just live with SSL certificate exceptions, when there are actual valid server names in existence to match the certificates in question, rediculous.
The fact that you are posting this non solution for a product it isn't even applicable for is beyond unhelpful. It actually serves to muddy the waters.

Hi! We're sorry for the inconvenience. Indeed with our setup, you would not be able to use your own cert with our existing installations. Theoretically, you would be able to set up your own mail system this way on a dedicated server. Otherwise, all available solutions are outlined in the article you mentioned at http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Certificate_Domain_Mismatch_Error . You should also be able to avoid the error by having your mail client permanently trust/accept the existing cert. We can assure you the whole setup is completely secure! If that does not work (nor any of the suggestions made in the wiki article), please contact support with those details and we'll investigate further.
Thanks!
Fabian M.
