==== Errors: ====

If after entering the above information into your email client, if you get any errors saying there is a problem with the certificate, then your email program is too old to connect to our mail server.  This is caused by using an operating system that is out of support.  Some examples of unsupported operating systems include:
  * Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1
  * MacOS 10.n (All versions of MacOS 10 and earlier are now unsupported)
  * Android version 10 or earlier
  * Apple iOS 13 and earlier.
