I think Andy was suggesting a possibility but I don't think that it's
very possible.

Start Kmail -> Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Accounts -> Host

Host is either a name or an ip address. Andy is suggesting that you
might have an ip address in the configuration that is an alternate ip
address for the same machine and NOT the ip address listed in the
certificate - hence the cause for the alert.

I would bet dollars to doughnuts that you have pop3.dataintellect.com in
the 'Host' section
