[fetchmail-users] What is a "local issuer certificate"?

[Paul E. <pel...@io...>]

When I run fetchmail to get mail from my IMAP server
I get the following messages:

fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: certificate not trusted
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to verify the first certificate


My question is: what is a "local issuer certificate"?

Is it the public key associated with my IMAP server?
Or is it the public key associated with my local fetchmail
client?

In any case how do I create and/or get one to make the error go
away?


Thank You.
