Add Security Exception for outlook.office365.com:995?

Post by RDaneel »

This is really getting annoying... for the last few days (probably covering the last 2 of Bill's Builds(tm)), I keep seeing these "random" popups on my desktop:

Title: Add Security Exception

Body: You are about to override how SeaMonkey identifies this site.
Legitimate banks, stores, and other public sites will not ask you to do this.
"Server Location:" outlook.office365.com:995

Certificate Status: The site attempts to identify itself with invalid information.

Wrong Site: The certificate belongs to a different site, which could mean that someone is trying to impersonate this site.

... so, I have been going with the "Cancel" button every time. What is interesting is that I see no apparent degradation in my accessing of my Outlook/Office365-supplied POP3 mailbox - which is actually AT this server's address (outlook.office365.com:995).

It looks like (maybe?) MSFT has allowed some cert/domain to expire - oops? If anyone else has been seeing this, or has any ideas/suggestions, I am all ears (you presumably will need to be using "Outlook" servers for your email, of course).

It isn't clear (at least to me) that this is a SeaMonkey problem to fix - I was more hoping for some more comments, and possible work-arounds.

Does your question about a fix imply you are seeing this issue also?

I don't know if there will be a fix in the next release version. I moved the post so other users of the Beta would be more likely to see this.

RDaneel,

Yes, one site the other day... I did not save the info, nor allow it to continue.
