"Add Security Exception" in Thunderbird won't go away
For one of my accounts in Thunderbird, I often see this pop up box no matter how many times I click on "Get Certificate" and "Confirm Security Exception":
The pop up says:
"Add Security Exception.
You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site.
Legitimate banks, stores, and other public sites will not ask you to do this.
Certificate Status
This site attempts to identify itself with valid information.
Wrong Site
Certificate belongs to a different site, which could indicate identity theft.
Outdated Information
Certificate is not currently valid. It is impossible to verify whether this identity was reported as stolen or lost.
Unknown Identity
Certificate is not trusted, because it hasn't been verified by recognized authority."

Hello Ariel_Fox,
Thank you for your question. If you are getting security errors regarding Thunderbird, you can permanently accept the certificate, here is a link to a walk-through guide.
Essentially, there should be a check box that you can click.
If this persists with only this account, I recommend checking your settings, or setting up the account in Thunderbird again.
If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,
