The reason for this is that you only need to "Trust forever" the server-signed cert once, when you first configure your client to use TLS. After that, I'm not aware of any mail clients that even give you any feedback that you are using a
TLS connection (i.e. there isn't any "Padlock" icon).

Generally signed certs are for server to server communication where you want to have different trust levels between certain clients. We (MessageLabs) do a lot of this stuff between banks and lawyers for example.
