Guys, Recently, Earthlink's webmail server certificate started showing up as expired. (It obviously expired a long time ago; I suspect someone must have screwed up in changing keys over or something, because the problem wasn't happening up until recently.) So, I contacted Earthlink's technical support, and I got this really encouraging reply....
