security error: domain name mismatch
dear ub3r-1337 g33ks,
since my client (who pays for my beer and the nasi lemak and the teh tarik) allows only HTTP and HTTPS connections, i managed to SSH to my servers by tunneling it via their proxy port using a wonderfool program called corkscrew (not to be mistaken for a wine bottle opener). this is great since now i can pop my emails (using the wonderfool open source emale client called thunder! thunder! thundercats! err... bird) . so i'm tunneling pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com via SSH which is great cause now i can ensure that i get every pr0n that is sent to me. however, everytime thunderbird connects to gmail, there's this semi-annoying pop-up:
is there anyway that i can trick thunderbird to recognize localhost as pop.gmail.com? this way, when thunderbird does what it has to do, it won't waste see-pee-you cycles creating the semi-annoying pop-up above?

Lets ssh acting as an SOCKS server (ssh -D port) for you. Then set your thunderbird to use SOCKS proxy. That's all what you need to do 
uhmmm... perhaps putting a HOSTS file entry to point pop.gmail.com to 127.0.0.1 (localhost)? so while you dont have to change the settings of thundercat/bird everytime you go in and out of your client's office, you just have to comment/uncomment that hosts file entry.
Perhaps add the cert permanently so it won't bug you no more. If there is a way to trick then I would like to know ... useful when you are generating "fake" certs on purpose 
I am sorta new to the computer and I need someone to help
