OS X 10.10.

I have used Thunderbird for ten years with a master password and e-mail certificates (XP five years; then OS X five years). Almost all my e-mail messages are encrypted. This is required by my work: I can not send messages unless encrypted.

Using 31.7.0 since release.

Accepted upgrade to 38.2.0. Not asked for master password. >Security>Use a master password unchecked Can't sign message; "... application failed to find the signing certificate..." >Tools>Account Settings>account>Security Digital Signing configuration unchanged: configured as before upgrade. Can't encrypt message; "... application failed to find the encryption certificate..." >Tools>Account Settings>account>Security Encryption configuration unchanged: configured as before upgrade. Can't connect to mail server; "...

(Have not done binary comparison.)

So: after upgrade, can't send or receive mail. Can't work.

Cordially, Joaquin

This sounds odd and I don't know what happened either. This is what I'd try: - create a new profile - set up the email account again - import cert and private key to the new profile - see if things are working

If so, you can carry over mail, address book, whatever to the new profile.

Joaquin,

Have you seen this problem again since September? Or was it only that one time?

I apologize. I thought I had posted here a message to report what happened when I tried as advised by christ1.

The same thing happened. I have restored the working 31.7.0 and turned off updated.

(Same thing: forgive the run-on text in my first report. I tried to put each step on a new line, but did not put a blank line between each. Here I try to see if hyphens do the trick. - line -another.)

Notice that I was trying to make a jump from v. 31.x to 38.x.
