A time ago a wrote how to solve the certificate issue in Outlook 2010 . I was explaining how to set up Outlook 2010 with your own POP3 server in case you are using SSL authentication with self made certificate. While in Outlook 2010 you just needed to install your certificate, on Outlook 2007 the process for adding certificate is bit more complex so follow these steps to add your own created certificate to trusted publishers on windows machine. Start->run, or +R type "mmc" and hit enter On opened window choose File->Add/Remove Snap-In... From Availbale Snap-Ins select Certificates and click Add In new window choose Computer Account, press next Select Local computer: (the computer this console is running on) Click Finish, and click Ok Expand the folder Colsole Root->Certificates->Trusted root certification Right click on Certificiates, select All Tasks->import and now you need to import your SSL certificate. The easiest way to get your certificates is by saving...

Well this has been annoying, so I will make a post as a reminder for myself. When connecting to mailserver with outlook through SSL you might get an error saying: The server you are connected to is using a security certificare that could not be verified. A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider. Do you want to continue using this server? And then question, whether or not you want to install the certificate. And even if you install the certificate, nothing changes. Next time the same warning pops up. This might be caused by several reasons, but mine was simple. Just make sure, that your POP3 server name is *exactly* the same as the server name the certificate is issued to. If in your configuration you type in IP, it will not work, because Outlook will think, that this is different server. To install certificate on Outlook 2007 follow these steps
