Secure Connection Faulure
setting up a new computer, trying to set up my gmail account on Thunderbird I get this message... Secure connection failed
' live.mozillamessaging.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired.
(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)
* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be
someone trying to impersonate the server.
* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may
be temporary, and you can try again later.
Or you can add an exception…
I have 2 machines side by side, the old works just fine , its 12 yrs old, i want to use my new one... how do I fix this ?? And yes ive tried manual settings and all that.. its the certificate in Thunderbird thats expired it says

just a screen capture as you posted in your initial topic is what is needed. I am guessing, but I think the issue may be it is issued by your antivirus.
you may have hit it. this system has Bitdefender from NetGear. the old sys has AVG. I don’t know bitdefender well enough to know where to look or change
j8ust disable it (windows defender will kick in) and see how things change or don't change. I do know bitdefender scans using self signed certificates on encrypted connections which is what the connection to get mail is almost exclusively these days.
