imap.gmail.com returning self signed certificate with Alpine

I am setting up Alpine for Gmail and followed the steps from
https://askubuntu.com/questions/130899/how-can-i-configure-alpine-to-read-my-gmail-in-ubuntu



I entered the field as Server: imap.gmail.com:993/ssl/user=<me>@gmail.com and it shows me the error message as pasted below



Also I can't find any info on why this should not work? Should imap.gmail.com be returning a self signed certificate? I don't have 2FA enabled on gmail.



I am on Alpine 2.21.99



Error message:



There was a failure validating the SSL/TLS certificate for the server

imap.gmail.com

The reason for the failure was

self signed certificate (details)

  • Likely your Admin is using an MITM box to sniff SSL connections. Is this in your workplace? Or Alpine can't find your certificate store. Either way, this question should be on our sister site superuser or unix since this question is not about programming.
