getting message about security certificate when I try to send/receive e-mails
On my Desktop, on OE6, every time I attempt to send/receive, I get this
message: "The server you are connected to is using a security certificate which has expired or is not yet valid. "Do you want to continue using this server"? And I have to click yes to do the send/receive. Also, this message appears for each possible incoming and outgoing. Thus I have two automatic accounts that send/receive. So I get the message four times when I click Send/receive, for the outgoing and the incoming for each of the two accounts. At the same time, the OE6 on my Windows XP laptop is working normally. I have the same e-mail accounts on the laptop as on the Desktop, and all the specs in Tools, Accounts, Mail for those accounts are the same on the two computers. I've googled the message text, but have found nothing. What should I do to get rid of that message? Thanks. |

Never mind--I found the problem
Somehow the month setting in Date/Time Properties on my computer had been
changed from June to April. I switched it back to June, and now e-mail works normally. This also explains another problem I was having: e-mails I sent yesterday were not in the Sent folder. In fact they WERE in the Sent folder, but they were dated for April 18. It's very unsettling when settings change on their own. :-) "Larry" wrote in message ...

Never mind, cont.
By the way, this is the way I found the source of the problem. When I tried to send the initial news message to this news group, I got an error message: " Outlook Express could not post your message.... Article Rejected -- The Date in the date header is too old' " |
