Posts embed themselves in other people's emails
Thunderbird I'm having trouble sending emails to my pen pal in southern Germany. Unfortunately, it turns out that she has not had a virus program. When she sends photos, these photos are added instead of the photos that come from both private and public emails. This has happened a couple of times. Now it has also happened that a post from a sender – is shown as a commented post from Facebook on Thunderbird. I have contacted my virus program who says I do not have a virus and that I should contact you to find a solution. When I want to send something to my pen pal, the email is stopped by Thunderbird with two warnings that I attach. Unfortunately, I don't know what the warnings mean and don't know what to do. Therefore, I ask you for help, because there may be identity theft involved? Greeting Bente

It is your Anti-Virus program. But it has nothing to do with virus. We have seen a few of these cases recently. Sounds like Anti-Virus got updated and now fails to recognises something it has been perfectly ok with previously. Most of them use self signed certificates and those cause issues with not being recognized.
If clicking on 'Bekraeft sikkerhedsundtagelse' (Confirm Security Exception') does not fix then... I would suggest you uninstall Anti-Virus Test sending to see if all is ok. If all works then you know it's the Anti-Virus Program. Then reinstall the Anti- Virus program and hopefully it will be able to read data correctly.
But please tell me...What Anti-Virus program are you using? Is it Norton ?
Second error says this in English: - using google translate Sending the message failed. Could not communicate securely with peer: the requested domain name does not match the server's certificate. Problems with the co-configuration need to be resolved

Thank you for your reply. I use the most expensive virus program that McAfee has and where they promise I can't get viruses. Unfortunately, I'm not proficient with a PC, so I don't understand what to do with regard to the two warnings. I will ask someone for help. I will also contact McAfee support again. So I would like to wait before concluding the case. Do you think there could be identity theft or something similar in this problem? Regards Bente

Absolutely not.
McAfee is notorious for being a problem. Great protection when it comes to using a browser just like Norton, but totally a pain when it comes to emails. Even if it finds something wrong you never want ti to fix anything when it comes to emails unless you think it may be ok to risk losing everything.
There is some interesting reading at these links. Apparently, McAfee Firewall deals with outgoing traffic. So is it worth using - probably not.
Suggest you try disabling SSL scanning - at least start by disabling real time scanning to see if it works.
You could click on 'Hent certifikat' which I think means 'Download Certificate'. Then get the certificate into Thunderbird. Settings >Privacy & Security scroll down to 'Security' section click on 'Manage Certificates' Where you can click on 'Import' then locate the downloaded certificate.
McAfee helpful stuff.
