Hello! After installing Thunderbird on a new machine and copying over data folder, the app is not connecting to SSL servers. Connection is fine via plaintext. I have gathered debug logs from POP3 on both machines (gathered more or less on the same time).

I have also connected manually through openssl s_client library on new machine and it works fine so I am running out of ideas. Please advise!

It would help if you name the server, so we can check its TLS version. The TLS may be OK, but maybe it's caused by the 'self-signed certificate' bug.

I would also try a new profile, in case copying the old one introduced some unknown factor. Help/Troubleshooting, about:profiles, create a new profile and add an account.

Unfortunately it doesn't. After degrading TLS version the problem still occurs.

more options

Run in Windows safe mode to test if a startup app such as security/AV is interfering with secure connections (such as Bitdefender, Kaspersky etc. are known to do).

more options

Hi sfhowes, Unfortunately I can't run this setup in safe mode as then WiFi doesn't work (including "Safe mode with networking" option). However I was doing trials with disabling AV system - doesn't help. I am also using the same AV system (ESET) on the old machine.

I am fairly confident that problem lays in Thunderbird itself, but I have no clues where to look for it.

more options

I think you may be able to run in safe mode with networking through wifi by following these instructions.

Changing security.tls.version.min may not be sufficient, if that's the cause:

Hi sfhowes, Thanks for linking this post, but unfortunately still no success :( I've set both options (security.tls.version.min to 1 and security.tls.version.enable-deprecated to true) and still no success.

Is there any way to debug SSL connection to see where it hangs? I was trying to play around with logging levels and modules, but I couldn't isolate something that would be helpful for my case.

That was peculiar...

I have tried once again - no luck. I have created new profile - it works! So I got back to my profile to compare settings - no difference. And then I tried to fetch mails on my old profile - it worked. Not sure what got changed - I am fairly confident I haven't changed anything between then and now, but it started working after this attempt with new profile... Thanks for everyone involved!

Glad to hear it's working. I suspect ESET did a silent update that corrected its settings.

Are you back to the default TLS version settings in tb?

gd_smith That was also my first suspect after seeing connections passing through, but I double checked - I am on defaults now
