Dear Maintainer,

I'm running icedove for years as MUA via IMAP for my Cyrus2 mail
server. Access has been encrypted using TLS on port 143 for many
years. Recently, it suddenly ceased working. In the relevant time
frame I updated icedove and had to renew the server certificate.

I can contact the mail server using openssl s_client. And of course by
falling back to plain text access. Wireshark shows that an apparently
normal STARTTLS sequence is answered by icedove with "Bad
Certificate", immediately. However, from UI perspective icedove seems
to hang infinitely. There is no message about problems with
certificates shown to the user. This at least should be considered a
bug.

Beyond that I cannot find any actual problems with the certificates in
the chain. I am able to import both, server and CA, into icedoves
certificate store. Inspecting the details of the server certificate
correctly lists the CA certificate in the tree view. But still
connection fails the same way.

I'd expect icedove to complain about the certificates also when
importing them into the store, if there is actually an issue with
them.

Some more information can be found at
http://serverfault.com/questions/766389/thunderbird-starttls-fails-connecting-to-cyrus-imap-2-2-13

The example log using NSPR_LOG_MODULES=all:5 published there neither
revealed anything useful.

Kind regards,
 - lars.
