When I click "send/ recieve in OE6, i recieve this message;
"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?"

I click "Yes" and it gets my mail just fine.


This is a new install of XP SP2. I suspect I have set up my ISP account
wrong, although, except for that notice all is good.

Also, I cant get Norton Anti Spam to Work in OE6, Symantec support had me
uninstall NIS08 and reinstall. I have not added the anti spam feature yet.

Check with your ISP for the correct settings. They may have this on
their web site. In particular check the POP3 and SMTP server names to
what you have at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers.. You may be
using an alias name for the server that is causing the certificate
mismatch.

Norton doesn't play nice with OE, although the problem isn't unique to
Norton. Any anti-virus scanning of e-mail or anti-spam processing can
cause send and receive problems because the software inserts itself
between OE and the real mail server and pretends to be the mail server
to OE. This could even cause your certificate error.

As long as your anti-virus software is set to scan files as they are
opened, scanning e-mail as it downloads or sends is unnecessary and
prone to problems.

With some anti-virus (and anti-spam) programs, simply disabling the
e-mail scanning function doesn't really disable it. It simply tells the
program not to flag any messages. It still processes all the messages
and may still cause send/receive failures. What you may need to do is
uninstall the anti-virus program, then reinstall it using a custom
install option and unselect the e-mail scanning component for
installation.

That is your ISP's issue, nothing to do with you.
They've let one or more of their security certificates
expire without renewing it. You can turn off that cert
checking but I can't see where at the moment and
haven't time right now to look further; perhaps someone
else will pop in with the location to stop checking the
certs.
