When I hook my computer up to my mobile hotspot, I get a security notice and it won't let me work with my email (gmail server). I can hook up to any wifi that I want, but not my phone hotspot. I've tried multiple hotspots with the same result. Any idea of work around? My internet is down today and I can't access my email thru Thunderbird.
