Title: New certificate for email server?
Post by: peasblossom on Jun 12, 2014, 15:54:57
I'm getting a pop up window in Thunderbird alerting me about a certificate issue with the IDNet mail server. Do I accept it? I'm assuming I do but I thought it better to check first.

Edit to add: Have rung. There is a new certificate and all I need to do is accept the exception.

It's probably a self-signed certificate.

Neither have I perhaps it's a question of trust?

Actually, it's probably because I was using 3G, so not on the IDNet network.  Perhaps?  :dunno:
