Confirm Security Exception not working

Hi

I'm trying to set up another email account but the Confirm Security Exception dialogue is preventing it. The exception is already stored but still keeps asking and when I reconfirm the dialogue flashes off/on and doesn't not disappear preventing the set up of the account. I have other emails from the same host and have not had this issue before. Anything I maybe doing wrong or bug? I've added a screenshot.

Many thanks Alan

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Your problem is AVG intercepting the secure connection to the server. See this article for how to turn it off. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/error-codes-secure-websites#w_avastavg

Your screenshot image is too small, it's impossible to read the error message.

Apologies - attached

Inspect the certificate - see attached screenshot for instructions.

Who is the issuer, and what is the subject of the cert? Please post a screenshot of the Certificate Viewer window with that information visible.

Hi again

Unfortunately that didn't fix the issue - I disabled HTTPS Scanning in the Web Shield, restarted Thunderbird, which didn't resolve, then rebooted ensuring the HTTPS Scanning was still turned off.

But still not fixing - I went through to view and it seems it is saying the same as aove even the setting AVG is disabled.

Any thoughts?

Ignore that last question - sorted...changed the connection security setting initially offered by Thunderbird to none. Thanks again. Alan

I wouldn't call that a solution. Note, everything you're transmitting and receiving to/from the server is in the clear, including your password. If this is all your email provider offers, then I'd look for a new email provider.
