I tried to connect to my email using thunderbird but I got the error mentioned on "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/server-doesnt-use-encryption". I connect with a 3G connection, but I didn't get this error message. Does this problem related to network connection? I tried also to change settings but it did not resolve the problem.

You can only have an encrypted connection to the server if it offers such a service. Some don't.

Who is the email provider?

Does the email provider advertise an encrypted connection?
