Its mail ticker and other advanced features are spectacular. Yea, they know they have a problem. Do not tell me there is not one problem with Thunderbird...

Dump the Bat email client and you'll be fine. Thunderbird works. Its a bat or umm Bat! (ooouuu I like the exclamation mark). Anyway tell them they have a problem and quit whining. Yep.

He has downloaded the complete chain certificate himself, repeatedly imported it into the Bat! and added it to the address book, with no luck in eliminating this error.

After his initial, "Newbies!" comment for those of us who had this problem, both on Windows and Mac, he then became helpful. Apparently under a newer system, certificates cannot be renewed. Our provider may have renewed a certificate, which renders it invalid. After my phone call and who knows how many others, they may have issued a new certificate. Apparently not only Windows XP, but also Apple Mail (Steve you'll have to show this to me some day, sounds fascinating!) choked on this. Our Apple guy (every company needs one) was able to delete his certificate, and the Apple system reliably downloaded the new chain of certificates. The Bat! e-mail client is one that has the worse hissy fits, thus I had to jump through the above hoops to update it. Tom also stated that Windows just plain has trouble with PKCS12 certificates. If a provider issues such, that could be a problem also. Talked to Tom about this.
