Getting OL-248 & OL-226 error messages with CIBC, TD/MBNA.

I am still using Quicken for Mac 2007 original on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). All of a sudden I am starting to get OL-248 error messages when I download bank info via Web Connect.
I am in Canada, so Direct Connect is not available. Instead, I have to download a QFX files that once opened downloads the transactions from the bank.
For at least a couple of days I started getting OL-248 error messages (see attached image). The interesting thing is that though the message says Quicken is unable to complete the request, the data is still downloaded after I click OK.
I am getting this with several banks and multiple accounts. Combine this with the OL-290 that a lot of users are getting with downloading transactions via Direct Connect (vs Web Connect), and I strongly suspect this has nothing to do with the banks.
(Yes, I have seen the post about OL-290 errors here https://qlc.intuit.com/announcements/1003948 )
Also, I started getting an OL-226 error saying Quicken cannot process this request at this time (see attached). I have 5 accounts with the same bank but only one account is giving me this error message, after the OL-248 error message.
I am investigating this last error with the bank to see if this one is truly their problem or not. I'll update as needed.
Will Intuit recognize and address these issues?

Here is a list of the MANY complaints on this forum of OL-290 & OL-248 errors popping up in the last couple of days. Does Intuit really believe that this is the banks's problem? It is affecting Bill Pay, Direct Connect & Web Connect for several different versions of Quicken, not just Quicken 2007 (QW2014, QW2013, QM2006, QM2003, etc), so the solution they suggest in the post ( https://qlc.intuit.com/announcements/1003948 ) probably won't help.

US-CERT (Department of Homeland Security) says: "There is currently no fix for the vulnerability SSL 3.0 itself, as the issue is fundamental to the protocol; however, disabling SSL 3.0 support in system/application configurations is the most viable solution currently available."
Thus the recommendation is to turn SSL 3.0 off in servers, which is what banks (and apparently Intuit) have done.
Since QM2007 can only use SSL 3.0 (the code was written before TSL existed), QM2007 cannot connect to any server that has SSL 3.0 disabled.
However, at this time QM2015 does not support bill pay whatsoever - either through DC or Quicken. It is a feature that is on the list for future implementation via a free update, but no time line yet.
Hi,
"Catch 22"—I called Quicken an asked if an upgrade to Quicken for the Mac 2015 would resolve my OL 290 problem, and its answer was "Yes", so I upgraded, only to discover that I could not activate Q-2015 until I downloaded all my current accounts, which I couldn't do because of the OL 290 issue.
Does any one have any information on when the OL 290 problem will be resolved.

As of today, I no longer get OL-248 error messages. :-)
Unfortunately, for one account (out of 8) with MBNA I still get an OL-226 error and with another MBNA account (out of 8) I simply get a message that there are no transactions, even though there should be. Still waiting to find out the outcome of these 2 situations.

I would suggest that if the 248 problem were still an issue (at least with Wells Fargo) some of the other folks that had commented earlier would have weighed in to state they are still having issues. That does not appear to be the case, am I wrong?
Since MBNA is still recovering from the pain of their recent system upgrades at the end of Sep, it may take time before they can identify the cause, if it is their system or if Intuit systems are involved.
