Broken Icedove settings

[I have emailed this issue to the OpenMailBox team.]

It's not possible to add OpenMailBox accounts in Icedove that displays this warning message:

Icedove failed to find the settings for your email account.

I've seen this error message that also made it impossible to add an account:

Certificate Status
This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information.

Wrong Site
The certificate belongs to a different site, which could mean that someone is trying to impersonate this site.

It's not possible to use the "Confirm Security Exception" button.

The "Get Certificate" button reads:

No Information Available
Unable to obtain identification status for this site.

I guess we should move OpenMailBox under the "Under Review" section and include the above text to it.

Riseup

Structure the links and add Tor links:

• Riseup[1]
  • Roundcube, SquirrelMail
  • Tor: Roundcube. See Riseups Tor onion services for email configuration

New services

These new webmail services could be added to the "Recommended section in https://www.fsf.org/resources/webmail-systems :

• Bitmessage.ch (requires Tor Browser despite not being an .onion address)
  • Tor: Roundcube, SquirrelMail
• Mail2Tor (SquirrelMail over Tor)
• TorBox (SquirrelMail over Tor)
