-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Steve. Don't worry about it. All that message means is that the certificate used by the server wasn't signed by a trusted certifying authority. This doesn't effect your ability to retrieve mail, or the security of the connection itself. This message is to be expected if the certificate isn't signed by a TCA. As for an explanation of ssl, certificates, ETC., I'd suggest looking at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer Hth.
