I see two questions from you. this and one in 2016. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/alaskawill/questions so I have no idea where you contacted Mozilla support as this site is it.
I looked at the providers web site https://www.alaskacommunications.com/Support/Email and will copy what they say your connection settings should be.

I suggest you open your account settings and compare them to those you are using with those published by your mail provider.
You were advised about antivirus programs being problem children back in 2016, nothing has changed with that. They are still the primary failure point in email connections. Generally I recommend disabling all mail scanning to test if that might be an issue, and even all scanning for a time to test that. Basically antivirus programs tend to use hacking to do their scanning and this extends to untrusted self signed certificates. So using unencrypted connection setting will reduce your security, but eliminate this certificate issue. You might try it an see if that helps.
