 <p><em>… Untrusted … not in certificate …</em><br /> <em>… Invalid security certificate (Can’t verify identity of server) …</em><br /> <em>… Chain validation failed … timestamp check failed … Certificate expired at …</em><br /></p>
 <p>This can be caused by using an incorrect host name, so first double check the host name in the advanced identity/account settings (tap <em>Manual setup and account options</em>). Please see the documentation of the email provider about the right host name. Sometimes the right host name is in the error message.</p>
 <p>You should try to fix this by contacting your provider or by getting a valid security certificate because invalid security certificates are insecure and allow <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack">man-in-the-middle attacks</a>. If money is an obstacle, you can get free security certificates from <a href="https://letsencrypt.org">Let’s Encrypt</a>.</p>
