I recently received this when trying to open Thunderbird:

You are about to override how Thunderbiird identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores and other public sites will not ask you to do this.

Location: maul.aussiebb.com.au587 Get Certificate View

Confirm Security Exception Then this: This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information. Wrong stie. The certificate belongs to a different site, which could mean that someone is trying to impersonate this site. Both of my email addresses are affected.

I have to use my online webmail to send and receive emails, also my laptop is not affected.

and what server is identified in the certificate? Your hosting provider perhaps? In which case you might want to allow the exception.

It could not find a server, but just this: mail.aussiebb.com.au:110 and you click yes and this is the result: This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information. No information available.

Inspect the certificate - see the attached screenshot for instructions.

Who's the issuer of the cert, and what's the cert's subject (Issued To)?

Please post a screenshot of the Certificate Viewer window with the above information visible. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
