Before I can check my emails I am ask to confirm a security certificate exception. This exception does not come from my service provider dodo.com.au, but from a (Dovecot mail server). This has been happening for some time but I didn't realise this should not happen untill recently I started having mail issues (recieving but emails, not being able to send emails)

I can still send and recieve if I cancel the exemption 20 times or so, do no have the problem if I go to my webmail site. And yes all my settings seem to be as required by my service provider. DETAILS: Could not verify this certificate because it has expired

Are you saying you're trying to get mail from your dodo.com.au account, and the server sends a certificate for pop2.internal, issued by pop2.internal, which has expired more than 2 years ago? Then you should talk to your email provider urgently.
