The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
The configuration related to localhost must be corrected.

As global CAs provide trusted certificates only for public, worldwide
unique domain names, there's no chance to get such a certificate with a
valid trust path, to be added to OM at its Cert|Server tab, for private
IPs like 127.0.0.1 or private domains like localhost.
So either add a security exception to your client as shown in >https://danner-net.de/omom/tutorconfigclienttbirdmail.htm and >https://danner-net.de/omom/tutor_config_tbird_mail_14.gif to make
Thunderbird accept OM's self-signed demo certificate

A more complex way would be to add your individual self-signed
certificate, e.g. created at OM's Cert|Creator tab, to the local
computer's Certificate Store as a trusted root CA certificate.

40tude Dialog is an oldie but goodie (e.g. v2.0.15.1, 4d2b38.exe, 3.8 MB, 2005-2-7), runs great in Windows 11 23h2 and older, uses hamster scoring,
and is the best all-around freeware newsreader client available anywhere;
best of all it works great with Omnimix and Tor Browser, *see note below . . .

(using Tor Browser 13.5)

The last installation package officially published by the programmer Marcus Monnig
is still available for download on the Internet under the file name 4d2b38.exe and
can also be downloaded from this website: Installation package . >https://www.barghahn-online.de/4td_faq/download/4d2b38.exe
The installation package contains program version 2.0.15.1 (aka Build 1 of Beta 38).
Explanations of 40tude Dialog's numbering systems can be found in the About section
of this FAQ. https://www.barghahn-online.de/4td_faq/ueber.php#version
This FAQ recommends updating the standard installation to the last published >subversion of the program 2.0.15.41 (i.e. Build 41 of Beta 38), in which some >program errors in the standard installation have been corrected. All you need to do
is replace the Dialog.exe program file in the installation directory with the newer
version. (For more information, see the Installation section of this FAQ.) >https://www.barghahn-online.de/4td_faq/installation.php#update
The update to Build 41 of Beta 38 can also be found (usually as a packed zip >archive) variously on the Internet and here on the website: Update . >https://www.barghahn-online.de/4td_faq/download/dialog_41.zip

(C:\Program Files (x86)\40tude Dialog\dialog.exe / 6.49 MB / v2.0.15.41 / 2005-08-29)

The use of Build 84 of Beta 38 is expressly not recommended! (Explanations on this
can also be found in the About section of this FAQ.) However, this version is also
circulating on the Internet as an individual update. A possible download source for
those interested who are aware of the risks of using an unreleased developer version
but still want to test Build 84 of Beta 38 is: Update (not recommended!!)
