Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post but here goes and new
to anything computers!

I am trying to access for the first time my company server, via
webmail (was given the URL Link) all fine and good. However, when I
click on the URL I get the following

Revocation information for the security certificate for this site is
not available, so I click yes to continue

I then get a security alert which explains things so click on yes to
continue then login

Then I get

There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a
trusted certificate authority.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or
intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this
website.
Click here to close this webpage.
Continue to this website (not recommended).

I then continue and login again, get into my webmail but can only
read, I cannot create, forward, reply nothing?

It asks me to download certificate which I did, and I can see the
certificate but it dont make any difference at all, please help

Thanks
 
Is this a self signed certificate? The procedure to import a self signed
certificate is here:

One thing not mentioned in the article is that you should use Run as
administrator to run Internet Explorer while importing the certificate. Once
it is imported exit IE and run it normally.

Interesting as I do not have Local Computer under Trusted Root Cert,
do I need to create one? If so how?

I still have the same problem I cannot see the certificate where I am
putting it, also I cannot go to certificates like it says to view it,

The article may not be appropriate for the certificate in question. It is
how you would import a self signed certificate. The certificate may not be a
self signed certificate.

In step 6 of the article make sure you put a check mark in the box beside
"Show physical store".

If you still can't see the certificate see the link at the end of the
article.
