Time to time I got error message regarding thunderbird mail client using wrong site certificate. This occur often when network is going back from hibernation but not only and this may also occur with Kmail or Evoluion and with another Ubuntu laptop.
All mails boxes servers are authenticated with let’s encrypt and are within my mail client configuration.
In this sample mail.gandi.net:993 is using a wrong certificate belonging to *.net-c.com
both mail boxes are in my Thunderbird/Kmail/Evolution configuration.
Any direction is most welcome as I already tried lot of workaround

I’m pretty sure this is what TLS is for: preventing Man-in-the-Middle attacks. By adding a (permanent) exception in Thunderburd, you’re letting others read your password and your e-mail.
You should remove the exception from Thunderbird and try to figure out what’s going on with your connection to mail.gandi.net: check the IP address your DNS client is resolving: is it actually a Gandi.net server? Or perhaps is somebody spoofing DNS results?
Thank you for your quick inputs.
This this is not related to my Pc as I have same issue with another one but both are Ubuntu based, one version 18.04 and the other one is 16.04.
This this not related to Thunderbird as I have same issue on various mail client.
I use a cisco RV215W as Firewall/Router.
For your information Gandi (mail.gandi.net) is also hosting net-c.com
I think Dns resolution is the right direction because yesterday evening I got same issue and solved mail.gandi.net and got 77.238.185.51 which belong to yahoo !
I reconfigured my RV215W cisco firewall to use my ISP dns server. Was previously configured as “Dns proxy” but I think something goes wrong with such setting.
Many thanks to all as I was stuck with this issue since a couple of months without having the right direction !!
