Hello,

I am moving over to Thunderbird from outlook. I have about 8 emails with two domains. First email works okay. The second one on the same domain has turned red on the left panel and thunderbird keeps poppoing up the certificate for mail.xxx.com is not valid for the server. The other works I added the exception when setting it up. The mail server is another domain used from my cpanel hosting provider. So it does not match the domain of the emails.

I can't seem to find a way around this to get it to work. Also I under account settings it looks correct. I am thinking this error message is the incoming mail server? I don't see under account setting anything for incoming mail server which on my hosting is the same for incoming and outgoing. Appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Okay i seemed to find it under the mail folder in server settings. It fails but click test then manual and it restarts and works. Hopefully will continue to work when done. I also need to have all emails come into one integrated inbox. Is that possible?
