Yahoo server - cannot be verified message

Hi I wonder if you techies can help me.

I collect all my e-mails through windows live webmail. My hotmail accounts are downloading no problem. But when I try to download my yahoo emails I get a message that says

'the server you are connected to is using a security certificate that could not be verified.

the cerficicate's PN name does not match the passed value

Do you want to continue using this server?'


The first time I saw this I thought it would be okay as it is a yahoo server, but when I clicked 'yes' my screen froze and I have had no end of trouble getting my pc working normally again. But when I click 'no' of course I get a message saying I cannot send or receive yahoo e-mails as there is no secure server.

I can't be the only person to get this message. Can anyone throw any light on it?

Many thanks

AnneMarie
