Description

Feature Request

As of https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/pull/2782 TLS host verification is enabled by default. Admins can only disable it system-wide. It would be nice to have a user setting to disable it per account, so you can still have other accounts verified.

Summary

Make it possible to disable TLS verification on a user/account based instead of system-wide.
