How to verify the integrity of a SSL pop3 certificate?
I had a question about MD5 and Sha1 fingerprint check sums for SSL certificates.
I'm trying to setup my email in thunderbird however a window came up stating the certificate my email providing was "unknown".
The checksums provided were different when I checked online using https://certlogik.com/ssl-checker/ and a few other websites.
Is there a reason for a SSL certificate for p0p3 to be different?
Do you know of anyway to confirm fingerprint checksums of SSL certificates?

What is the exact error you get?

You'd need to be more specific about what you did. The first step to verify a cert often is to check the issuer of the cert.

Its not an error it just states the SSL certificate is unknown.
When you compare the MD5 and Sha1 checksums of the fingerprints for the "unknown" certificate it does not match if you use other websites to check the SSL certificate.
