Comment (by sukhbir):
While I don't disagree with your general idea, disabling all certificates
and then expecting users to understand TOFU and guiding them do it is
likely not a good idea. Remember that the intended audience is users who
might not even know what a certificate is (or even care). Asking them to
add exception for their mail provider is probably not going to work out
well.
