I've just run into a situation with The Bat! Pro v6.24 and Outlook.com (Hotmail). It appears that the certificate has expired. Is there a source where I can download and install a new certificate?
As a temporary measure you can switch to the Microsoft CryptoAPI. Options>S/MIME and TLS. Click the radio button Microsoft CryptoAPI (Microsoft certificate store) then OK. Hotmail/Outlook/Windows Live should work again.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying Jan, it works indeed I'd still prefer a permanent solution though - the way I see it, yours is just a workaround, isn't it?
Here is the procedure for a permanent solution. This is from the Ritlabs Polish forum:
"There is no need to change the configuration of The Bat! because the cause of problem is the loss of validity of the certificate from GlobalSign Root CA, which quite often occurs as a principal in the paths of certification. Certificate expired on 28/01/2014, but it's new.
1 Download the new certificate file (. Crt), available at http://secure.globalsign.net/cacert/Root-R1.crt 2 Open the address book in The Bat! 3 Choose a Trusted Root CA certificates 4 Search the database entry "GlobalSign Root CA" and open the entry 5 In the "Certificates" button "Remove" to remove the old certificate valid until 28.01.2014 6 Import the new certificate from the downloaded file. "
I followed this procedure and it does indeed correct the expired certificate problem. Don't forget to switch back to TB internal certificate processing.

Otherwise it sends and receives...I see this message each time I send or receive ...I click OK to continue and it works fine.
I have been using TheBat! 3.0 Prof. forever without any problems. Then, all of a sudden, I get the TLS handshake failure - unsupported certificate . I followed the instructions in post #6, but without success. Anything else I should be looking at, any other suggestions?? I miss my email client!! Thanks, in advance.
