From IRC 
Graeme	I added an exception for the certificate but that isn't a good thing to do is it? At least I can send and receive emails again..:(
Graeme	It says it just updated to version 60.0b1 and suddenly it gave me a security exception on one of my email accounts. I switched back to 56 and it worked fine. I went back to 60 and I had to add an exception.

Graeme	I had a very similar problem to 1441427 and 1447720 - at least I seem to remember that when I first added the exception for receiving mail I think I did have to do it twice.
Graeme	I certainly had to add exceptions to send and receive.

Mozilla core at version 60 might be stricter checking certificates.

bug 1447720  was closed invalid, caused by AVG antivirus.

And bug 1441427 was closed worksforme.

Have you seen the problem occur again?
And do you use AVG?

I haven't seen this issue again. But to be honest I think I added an exception but can't remember where to find out if it is still operational.. I don't use AVG but Comodo.

Given that it hasn't happened again n a year, and we don't know whether it still exists, let's close this incomplete
