Nokia E70: GMail POP3 Certificate Error

On my Nokia E70, I keep getting an error every time I try to access my email through the built-in POP3 client: "This site has sent an untrusted certificate. Continue anyway?" I know that I could use the GMail Java app, but that doesn't provide the 30-minute polling capability (almost push) that the built-in E70 client has.

This has been discussed on the forums with regard to other Series 60 phones. I have tried EVERY solution available on other forums across the internet, and on Howard Forums. None of them work.

Has anybody found a solution to this? It's odd that the other series 60 solutions do not work. I've exhausted every resource I can think of.

For the record, I'm using software version 2.0618.07.10 on the Nokia E70-2 (US version).
 
My phone is telling me that Google is providing me with a certificate from Thawte. Do I need a Thawte certificate for this? (I don't see any at the link you gave)

Specifically, this is the certificate GMail is using:

Thawte Premium Server CA, valid until 5/5/07
Fingerprint: 57C9 5B93 F8B4 A7E6 1616 49B6 A709 A332 EB0B FE36
 
I know that https://gmail.google.com uses a thawte cert.

smtp.gmail.com uses an equifax cert. Equifax was acquired by Geotrust so they maintain the cert now.

There is another mailserver that some people were using. it was something like pop3.googlemail.com or something like that. I had heard that it used a thawte cert also.

I installed roots 1, 2, and 3 off of the geotrust site i linked earlier and it resolved my cert issue on my 6620.

You can go here for thawte certs, I dont know which one you will need.

What are the pop and smtp servers that you are trying to use?
 
I used both pop.gmail.com and pop.googlemail.com. Both gave the same unsuccessful result.

Also, the solution that bostonirishguy offered did not work. (It was the certificate at http://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/certificates/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority_DER.cer)

Thanks for your help so far, guys...this is really a pain in the ***.
 
If the phone is asking for a thawte cert regardless of which server you use then you will need a thawte cert.

Maybe they updated their certs since I last configured my phone. I looked and I do have two Thawte Certs on my phone already.

Thawte Premium Server CA
Thawte Server CA

See if you can get those from the Thawte site.
 
Yeah, been there...done that. There were about 10 certificates in the root cert package (http://www.thawte.com/roots/), and all but two were already on my phone. Those two certificates did nothing. This is really strange.
