The server you are connected to is using a security certificate

Can anyone help. I all of a sudden am getting below error message. I have
removed and recreated all my email accounts for windows mail. It seems to be
yahoo.co.nz email not working?


The server you are connected to is using a security certificate
that could not be verified.

The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value.

Do you want to continue using this server?

[Yes] [No]

Why did you post the same issue three different times?

That error message is usually due to a mismatch involving the server
name and/or SSL setting. Let us know what you have for:
The names of the incoming and outgoing servers, their port numbers,
and SSL option.

I get this same error every time I start winmail. Unable to find problem, I just always click [Yes] and it's OK till next time I start winmail. But would like to know the cause and possible fix as it is annoying.

My server names are: incoming - ipostoffice.att.net -- port 465
outgoing - imailhost.att.net -- port 995

SSL box is checked for both.

Any suggestions?

You really should have opened a thread with your own information. Please
post (copy / paste) the entire error message you get.

According to the last section of this web page:
http://help.att.net/docs/static/age...platform=OSWINXP&query=mail+server&faqcounter
you have the wrong server names. They should be:
Incoming: ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net
Outgoing: imailhost.worldnet.att.net
