Cant log into one of my email addresses using login.live.com – Certificate Error

01. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:

Hi,

 

I have two Hotmail addresses.

 

I can log into one of them with no issues.

 

The other, when putting in my email address and password, I receive a certificate error

"There is a problem with this site's security etc."

 

Anyone have a fix for this?

 

Thanks.

Outlook.com Certificate Error

Hi,

 

In the last two days I have had continuous problems accessing Microsoft websites. IE informs me that the certificate has expired and thus content is being hidden. In addition Windows Live Mail has stopped syncing with my three outlook.com accounts.

 

I haven't changed anything on my accounts the only thing that has happened is Windows Update has updated.

 

My Windows Phone is unaffected and can access email perfectly.


Any ideas what has happened?

Certificate error when attempting to download attachments from Hotmail.

28. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

When I attempt to download a file from Hotmail I get a Certificate Error. This is unrelated to I.E (I have just upgrated to I.E 10) as it occurs in Firefox and Google Chrome too.

This problem also occurs when I try and download an email attachment that I have downloaded before with no problems.

I have forwarded a Hotmail message to my Gmail account and I can download the attachments fine. Therefore I assume the problem is purely a Hotmail (Outlook) issue.

This problem has occurred since yesterday (27th August 2013).

pop3.live.com Certificate Error

When connecting to my email address via outlook I get "The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that does not match its Internet Address. Do you want to continue using this server?". I understand this can be caused by man-in-the-middle attacks. I have been checking my email comfortably for years before this problem occurred. I am using:

pop3.live.com
port: 995
This server requires a secure &connection (SSL)
No Secure Password Authentication

smtp.live.com
Port: 25
This server requires a secure &connection (SSL)
Outgoing server requires authentication -> Use same settings as my incoming mail server

Have you changed certificates within the last month? Could you provide new details?

Outlook.com yields certificate errors due to invalid link in pages

24. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,

When I read my outlook.com email using IE9 or IE10 (starting at http://outlook.com) I get an "Internet Explorer blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors." popup with the "Show Content" button. I'm getting this dozens of times a day, so this is really annoying.

 

(Note: this is not the same as getting a certificate error for the entire page because its certificate is invalid).

 

I have discovered that outlook.com pages contain a link to:

 

https://fsecure.wlxrs.com/_D/F$Live.SiteContent.Messenger/6.1.2090/

 

This link cannot be resolved, because the host fsecure.wlxrs.com doesn't exist (checked with http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=lookup&host=fsecure.wlxrs.com)

 

For some reason, IE, when accessing the Internet via a proxy (our corporate infrastructure works this way) triggers a certificate error for the linked page because not being able to find the certificate has priority over not being able to resolve the host.

 

IE when not using a proxy, or FF22, do not trigger an error.

 

Still, there is something invalid in the outlook.com pages, and this must be fixed.

 

Can you MSFT guys please fix this?

 

 

P.S. I picked "Calendar" as the topic because I had to select a topic, but the entire outlook.com "site" is affected!
