Re: Suppressing mail server security certifcate warning

I spoke too soon. Looks like the non-SSL connection with standard ports is
not working.

Back to the original problem. Here is the info you requested. Any ideas?

Server:
mail.altadyn.com.

Ports:
Outgoing: 465
Incoming: 995
SSL checked on both

Hi Gary,

Thanks, very much.

Your reply prompted me to try unchecking SSL and go back to the default
ports of 25 and 110, and when I did the warning stopped.

I suppose that fixes it for now. The server is my company's and I would
prefer an SSL connection but it looks like this will require a new
certificate.

Do you still think there is something that could inhibit the warning even
using SSL and you could determine it with the actual server? If so, is there
a way to send you the server name securely?

Something is telling Windows Mail that it needs to ask the server for

Can you tell us the exact server name, port number, and whether SSL
is selected?

the problem I am experiencing is related to the lack of a security
certificate for an email server from which I am receiving mail with Windows
Live Mail.

I want to know if there is a way I can suppress the warning message I
receive from Windows Live Mail every time I start the application, or I can
otherwise tell the program that this is a trusted server even though there is
no certificate. Since I can simply dismiss the warning each time and receive
mail I am looking for an automated way, short of requiring this server to
install a certificate, to indicate to Windows Live Mail that this is a
trusted server.

The warning I get is as follows:

-------------------------
Internet Security Warning
The server you ae connected to is using a security
certificate that could not be verified.

A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is
not trusted by the trust provider.

Do you want to continue using this server?
