Comment (by arlolra):

 > That was most probably because cert was issued to torproject.org and not
 to the onion address...

 Yes, that's expected.

 > 1) The error text was written in bright red on bright blue background.
 Make it extremely hard to read.

 That's because the account is highlighted (the bright blue).  This is more
 apparent when you have more than one account.  But I agree that it's less
 than ideal.

 > 2) There's a tiny little link that says 'add an exception' if I didn't
 already know what it means and what it does I wouldn't have been able to
 locate that or accept the cert

 This is #17517

 > 3) Even after adding an exception, I got an error that I couldn't be
 authenticated to the server, while I could connect with the same settings
 using Coyim.

 It's probably because you listed the onion as the domain instead of the
 server.

 Can you try following the instructions listed here?

 I should move that, or similar, to the
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorMessenger/FAQ FAQ]

 For what it's worth, I can confirm that TM does work with the tpo xmpp
 server.
