The certificate for “Nexcess” may not be valid.

Asked By Michael E Owensby 20 points N/A Posted on - 05/17/2014

Hi whiz,

While I am in the process of setting up an email account in iPhone, I ended up with an error message. This error message says that the secure connection failed, the certificate for “Nexcess” may not be valid. So canceled the process and tried again but I got the same error message. How do I get rid of this error message? Please help me setup an email account. Thanks in advance.
