Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:

I use Outlook 2007 and have been having the same problem that dates back a
while. I tried posting to the community, but got no solution. I use AOL as
my server and cannot believe that they do not have a verified server or
certificate.

Thanks!

Hi,

My web host uses the self-signed certificate for SSL connection.

Thus each time I open my Outlook 2003, I get this certificate error. I can
click 'Yes' and go ahead and work with my email account but I would really
like to get rid of that annoying warning.

I've installed the cert in IE. Now I do not receive this warning in my
browser but it's still asking me in Outlook.

Please explain how would I add the cert to a group of trusted in my Outlook?

For some reason unbeknownst to me, I quit receiving the warning. Perhaps
Microsoft finally decided to recognize a competitor.
