For several days I have been getting the Add Security Exception popup. I check Permanently store this exception before clicking on Confirm Security Exception. After clicking that MANY times it finally goes away only to popup a little while later and I'm forced to repeat the process. I've been using Thunderbird since 2008 and use it to manage 3 work emails and 1 personal email. l've had this happen before.

My company email(x3) server settings are Incoming imap.googlemail.com port 993 Outgoing smtp.googlemail.com port 465 Security SSL/TSL Normal Password 2 step is not enabled on GMail for our domain

My personal email(x1) server settings are Incoming secure39.webhostinghub.com port 993 Outgoing secure39.webhostinghub.com port 465 Security SSL/TSL Normal Password

I do have avast installed avast! Mail Scanner Certificate Name Server secure39.webhostinghub.com secure39.webhostinghub.com; 465

secure39.webhostinghub.com      secure39.webhostinghub.com; 993 

imap.googlemail.com imap.googlemail.com; 993 smtp.googlemail.com smtp.googlemail.com; 465 Lifetime = Permanent (for all) Expires on secure39 = 02/23/2017 and googlemail = 06/22/2015

I exported a copy of the details crt file but I don't see a means to upload it here. I will be glad to email to someone if the need it.
