This message window pops up numerous times while I am working with Thunderbird. When I click the cancel button, it immediately comes up again and again, sometimes eight or nine times before it stops coming up for a bit, and then it starts popping up again.

see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-security-exception If this is your email provider, you can safely "Confirm Security Exception" and the problem should not continue. Sometimes sites fail to update their certificates (including one of mine!).
