Setting Mozilla Thunderbird for email use on a new MS computer gives "Add Security Exception"

Trying to set up Mozilla Thunderbird for email use on a new MS computer. After entering data into the "Set up your existing email account" form, I get a box that says "Add Security Exception". It identifies the email provider we use with the number 110 behind it. The box warns that the certificate it identifies belongs to another site, which could mean that someone was trying to impersonate the site. What to do? Thank you.

I cannot help much because I do not use Windows or anti-virus software, but I can tell you that this message is probably coming from your anti-virus software. A common suggestion on this forum is to add security exceptions. Using Thunderbird without security exceptions in your anti-virus program can cause problems in Thunderbird.
