certificate for imap <edited>@peternedsmith.co.uk is not valid, someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue, on clicking the more info, on the panel that comes up, if I click on get certificate, the selections below get greyed out and nothing happens, I have viewed the certificate, and it appears to be from the US, I have taken a screenshot of the top part of it, which is below. Regards Peter Smith

The certificate has been issued for stackmail.com. However, with Thunderbird you're connecting to the server imap.peternedsmith.co.uk. There is a mismatch, hence you do get the exception prompt. Check with your email/hosting provider about the correct email server settings for your domain, or have them fix their certificate.
