Assembly: MailKit (in MailKit.dll) Version: 5.0.0
public class SslHandshakeException : ExceptionRemarks
The exception that is thrown when there is an error during the SSL/TLS handshake.
When this exception occurs, it typically means that the IMAP, POP3 or SMTP server that you are connecting to is using an SSL certificate that is either expired or untrusted by your system.
Often times, mail servers will use self-signed certificates instead of using a certificate that has been signed by a trusted Certificate Authority. When your system is unable to validate the mail server's certificate because it is not signed by a known and trusted Certificate Authority, this exception will occur.
You can work around this problem by supplying a custom RemoteCertificateValidationCallback and setting it on the client's ServerCertificateValidationCallback property.
Most likely, you'll want to compare the thumbprint of the server's certificate with a known value and/or prompt the user to accept the certificate (similar to what you've probably seen web browsers do when they encounter untrusted certificates).
