Yes, I agree – this page is hardly worth the space it takes up. Whatever. These are the two articles that kinda provided the impetus for this Slice.
I wrote them because, at the time, Gmail was constantly changing their certificates and causing all manner of grief to Eudora users. Getting past the problem wasn’t particularly difficult – once you knew how – but the steps weren’t intuitive. I decided to write it up because I was tired of answering the same question over and over again. The comment stream went nuts.
January 7, 2015 was the first article:
Eudora and SSL Certificate Failures
It did the trick.
Over the months that followed that article I learned that the steps in the original article could be streamlined quite a bit and so I set out to simplify and rewrite. Feedback from others helped me immensely with some of my awkward writing.
The revised version of the article appeared September 9, 2015:
Revisiting Eudora SSL Certificate Failures
Today Gmail still changes their certificates often but there are excellent alternatives to manually dealing with them.
And now you know how this Slice came to be.
