gmx mutt always asks for ssl certificate check

Hello everybody!

Every time I try to send the first email after opening my 'gmx' mail account mutt asks for ssl certificate check and gives only the option to accept the 'gmx' certificate once

This certificate belongs to:
   mail.gmx.com
   Unknown
   1&1 Mail & Media GmbH
   Unknown
   Montabaur
   Rhineland-Palatinate
   DE

This certificate was issued by:
   GeoTrust RSA CA 2018
   Unknown
   DigiCert Inc
   www.digicert.com
   Unknown
   Unknown
   US

This certificate is valid
   from Jul  6 00:00:00 2018 GMT
     to Jul  5 12:00:00 2020 GMT

SHA1 Fingerprint: 5B2E E1A6 B6AC A190 BECB 7496 4EBA D462 019E E8A8
SHA256 Fingerprint: BD86 C3AC 107C 336D 256A 323F B568 7185
                    B123 EB17 2B6C 1DA8 608C 93E0 BD5C 8B05

-- Mutt: SSL Certificate check (certificate 3 of 3 in chain)
(r)eject, accept (o)nce

If I do not close mutt the next time I want to send email there is no such certificate check which means the acceptance of the ssl certificate is valid as long as mutt is open. I may change account to 'gmail' and then come back to the 'gmx' account and there is no need for second acceptance. But once I close mutt I have to go through this again next time I open it if I try to send another email with the 'gmx' account.

Is there a way to accept this certificate not just once but permanently?

Thank you!

Not working.
Created the file

touch ~/.mutt/certificates

Put the following line in the rc file

set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates

No effect. Still asks me to accept the certificate again after closing and re-opening.
