    When I first go into outlook express I receive the following message:

    The server you are connected is using a security certificate theat could not be verified. The certificates CN name does not match the passed value.
    Do you want to continue.

    I say yes and everything works fine. How can I stop this note from coming on each time? It just started two days ago.

    I use OE and my address is Ameritech.net through the Yahoo mail server.The incoming and outgoing are: pop.ameritech.yahoo.com and smtp.ameritech.yahoo.com through a Pop 3 server.

    I hope this is enough information.

    Additional info

    Where do I scroll down in order to install the certificate. In IE I have unchecked to notify me if there is a mis-match

    At the link it shows you where to get the certificates.

    In IE> Tools> Internet Options> Content tab> Certificates.

    certificate

    I understand where to look but under certificate I uses secure E-Mail but there are many listed under Trusted root, trusted publisher etc. I am not sure which to import

    Thanks
