Certificate problems can be caused by a number of reasons, including:
- Incorrect server settings – especially connection security or server mismatch. Confirm that your server settings are correct. Here are Windstream's recommended settings:
- Antivirus or Proxy – it can modify certificates with its own and interfere with connection security. As a test, disable them or create an exception for Thunderbird.
- Expired Certificate – due to incorrect date & time or genuine expiration. This would be only correctable by Windstream. They may already be aware of it and are working on a fix, so if you just wait a while the problem may go away. It might be worth a call to them to report the problem and get a status update.
