Receiving the above message when trying to get emails. Am able to receive emails on cell phone which is not with Thunderbird email. Made no changes to Thunderbird. Started about 2 days ago. Spoke with our email provider and they say it is specific to our Thunderbird email.

Entire message reads - " The certificate for pop.starpower.net is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue " 

                                                                                                          Thanks,

Sounds like you have an antivirus issue. Try disabling any email scanning and see if the pr0oblem goes away.
