So, who hosts your bobcrain.com.au account? What advice do they give about email server settings? Does your contract with them provide for an SSL certificate using your domain name?

I guess it is set to use STARTTLS? Ordinarily, port 143 suggests a non-secure connection where certificates wouldn't be used or even needed, so the fact that it's complaining about a certificate suggests it has switched to a secured connection.

I'd use the "view" option to see the details of the server, then use network lookup tools (ping, traceroute, whois, nslookup etc) to see if that server is owned by the webhost. If so, I'd permit it as an exception.
