security certificate

I use Outlook Express version 6.00.2900.2180.(xpsp_sp2_rtm 040803-2158).
In the drop down window this also appears
"directdb.dll 6.00.2900.3138(xpsp_sp2_gdr.070514-1324)
XP PRO SERVICE PACK 2

SBCGOLBAL.NET has changed their settings to using (on the advanced mode) to have

“This server requires a secure connection SSL checked and the ports to SMPT 465 and the POP3 port to 995.â€

When I do that I get the following error message:

“Your 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.â€

Is there an updated Outlook Express or a patch that I can install to bring it up to date so I can use the new settings ?

Is there some other problem that I need to look at? I have spent hours on this.

Thanks

 

I have done that already and it is engaged right now. I know how to do that and I know how to undo that. It is when I have those settings engaged that I get the error message -

"Your 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. "

I also have an older Gateway running windows 2000 pro. I have OE set to the same SSL settings and I DO NOT GET THE ERROR MESSAGE (on the gateway).

It seems to be something related to IE 7 which I have not been able to figure out and I do not feel like eraseing the entire C drive and reinstalling everything. It is quite time consuming.

 

Been there done that. Did it again just for the heck of it. Had no effect. Will try new idenity before reinstallation.

Thanks
