How can I determine which keyring is checked by Thuderbird on startup?

more options

Since the last update, when I open Thuderbird a black box comes up that asks me to authorize creation of a new keyring named "unknown." That occured after previous blackboxes which said a program was requesting access to a keyring named "unknown." The request for a new keyring named "unknown, after I chage the name to "Mail."

The initial problem was that alleged program was unidentified and I did not know what was in "unknow"n keyring. For all I knew the source of the black box was a hacker or malware, etc., trying to access to my mai, mail serverl or msystem in general.

My response was to deny permission until the previously standard request for the pawword requested to access the mail server. I enter the password, and my mail downloads.

Assuming the blackbox is a result of installing Thuderbird 31.0 and that blackbox is Thuderbird's new way of asking for my password for the mail server, how can I force Thunderbird to request access to "Mail" rather then "unknown?"

Frankly failing to identify the application requesting access to the a keyring named "unknown" seems a breach of good security practice. A user should know what he is doing before taking any of the actions requested by the black box.

So today I learned there is something called keyring. It is part pf Gnome which is the default gui for Ubuntu.

I also learned there is an add-on that allows Thunderbird to integrate with it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/gnome-keyring-integration/

Thunderbird has it's own password manager.

I followed your advice and it apparently worked. We'll see for sure when I log in tomorrow.

The black box actually asked for a password for a new keyring that I created yesterday named. When the box requested that specific keyring, I believed I know who was asking and why.

That solved my problem.

Thanks Matt!
