I received 2 notifications stating that 1) The certificate for imap.gmail.com does not come from a Trusted Source and 2) You are about to override how Thunderbird Identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores and other public sites will not ask you to do this. This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information. The certificate is not trusted because it hasn't been verified as issued by a trusted authority using a secure Signature. I have been with Thunderbird for around 20 years and have contributed to it twice, so please help me!

My guess is you have an antivirus problem. Click the view button and see who issues this unsupported certificate. I am guessing it is a self signed one issued by your antivirus. That is how they hack your security to scan email.
