Thanks for your answer! That's true, but for example in a case of self-hosted servers where the admin doesn't want to fiddle around to get a certificate from the "big guys", because the XMPP server is for a small community anyway, this would be useful, as Miranda wouldn't accept a self-signed certificate with this option. It's a lot more secure if we can see the certificate information, and in countrys where net neutrality isn't very respected or the connection is heavily censored, this is even more important to be able to verify that the certificate wasn't replaced by some nasty devils.
