Help please – security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website’s address – Unable to save attachments from Hotmail

24. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: hotmail, Hotmail Account, security certificate

My Hotmail account has suddenly lost the ability to save download attachments - documents/photos/anything to either my pc or my laptop. I've tried my daughter's Hotmail account and it works fine so it appears specific to my Hotmail account rather than to the pc and laptop.

I get this message:

"The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

I was concerned a while ago my account had been hijacked as I was receiving emails from my email address for Viagra and the rest into my spam folder - not from me! I've reset my password countless times, run Malware Bytes as well as the Microsoft programme to sort this out but have since received another email from myself that I have not sent. Also I now have the problem with the security certificate and not being able to download documents/photos - really need to be able to do this as I'm freelance and use my Hotmail account massively for work.

Help please, very gratefully received.

Thanks

I am having trouble from time to time, sometimes yes and sometimes no, logging onto hotmail to retrieve my messages. My Internet Explorer program complains that the website has been blocked because of problems with the Security Certificate. What to do regarding this problem? My e-mail is important and access to it is vital.

pop3.live.com Certificate Error

18. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: certificate error, incoming mail server, outgoing server, Secure Password Authentication, security certificate

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?

A friend of mine is getting security certificate errors when accessing Outlook.com. I can access it without problems.

I have sent him a message asking for more information (including trying other browsers / computers) and I will report back as soon as I receive this information.

Microsoft Outlook 2007 showing Security Certificate Warning

16. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2007, security certificate

Hi,

I am using outlook.com email service for my Domain www.softwareswindow.com and I have configured it on Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. From last few months it was working perfectly fine. However, from last 2 weeks, whenever i start the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 in the morning and send receive emails, I get Internet Security Warning Message:

The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that cannot be verified.

The target principal name is incorrect.

View Certificate

Do you want to continue using this server? Yes or No

When I click on Yes, I am able to send and receive emails and If I click on No, then send & receive of email fails. It happens every time outlook is started and for sending and receiving emails.

Could anyone please look into it and revert back to me with the solution of this issue.

In the last week, when I launch Windows Live Mail 2011, I am getting the warning: The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that could not be verified. The certificates CN name does not match the passed value.

Do you want to continue using this server?

I click on yes to continue.

I have never had this happen and was wondering if it was anything I should worry about. Any thoughts?

Thanks all

Hi Guys,

I added pop account with server pop3.live.com at port 995.The pop3.live.com security certificate seems to be indifferent.

I got the hotmail's emails properly of most of the times.Sometimes i got the error such as one follows

sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested targe

Is there any problems with your certificate?As it seems to be inconsistent. The problems started occuring from Jul 31 01:33 ,2013.

There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

Windows Live Mail – Security alert, security certificate pop-up

25. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: Security Alert message, security certificate, Windows Live Mail

In the past week when I open my Windows Live Mail to view my e-mails, I get a Security Alert message quite often stating "Revocation information for the security certificate for this site is not available. Do you want to proceed? The options are Yes, No, View Certificate. Clicking the "View Certificate" says it is intended to ensure the identify of a remote computer, Issued by: GTE CyberTrust Global Root, and gives a Certification path, Valid from 8/27/12 to 8/27/13. I'm not sure if I should install this certificate or it it's from a hacker or a virus. Has anyone experienced this alert or have a suggestion if it's safe?

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

24. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: certificate error, certificate errors, internet explorer, security certificate

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!
