No way to permanently accept self-signed cert

Binary package hint: evolution

Using 2.10.1 I am connecting to a POP server via SSL. My POP server is using a self-signed certificate. On startup, I get a dialog "Error while Fetching Mail. Failed to read a valid greeting from POP server pop.domainname.tld". I then select Ok. The dialog goes away. I select the Send/Receive button and get another dialog telling me about the SSL Certificate check for pop.domainname.tld. It has "Signature: BAD". I can select Ok and my session will behave normally until I restart and go through the process again.

I would like to request a way to permanently allow this certificate. Thunderbird asks me if I want to accept it permanently, accept it for this session, or reject and not use it at all. Something like that would be useful.
