I am using an email server that currently is using certificates that have expired. That problem is being worked on. In the meantime, whenever I access the server to open a folder, I get a pop-up notification telling me that the certificate has expired. I go ahead and confirm the security exception and check the box to permanently store the exception. Trouble is this ISN'T being persisted, when I open a different folder I have to go through this process again in order to access my emails in that folder.

Me thinks you got a bug in your software Kemosabe!

Then file a bug report, if one has not already been raised. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home

The certificates component is a shared one with Firefox, so you need to look for Firefox issues as well as Thunderbird ones. almost all of the code maintenance and bugs are handled by the Firefox team.

I added a comment to a bug report that was submitted 8 YEARS ago, and is still unresolved, about this same issue! Not gonna hold my breath that it gets solved any time soon! Sigh...
