I can confirm this behaviour. The cause is that kdepim-runtime treats 
the SSL cancellation the same as a bad password error and so will 
re-establish the connection to the IMAP server which causes the same 
dialog to reappear. There is also another dialog behind which has the 
option to cancel the connection or change the connection settings 
however the SSL dialog prevents this dialog from being clickable. This 
has the side effect that if you eventually give up and accept the 
certificate, there are numerous bad password dialogs which you have to 
close.
