Hi Ernst,
Thank you for having taken the time to report a problem with Ubuntu and 
Thunderbird. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at 
all reported bugs in a timely manner. 

You made this bug report in 2009 regarding Thunderbird and there have
been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Your problem may have been
fixed with some of the updates.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close
the ticket?

Or, if it still might be a problem, it would help us a lot if you could test it 
on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an 
issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 394100

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Title:
  Thunderbird asks for mail server tls certificates on startup, but
  offers no choise to use password

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I just started using TB with S/MIME signing of messages with my new
  personal digital certificate. Problem is that TB seemingly
  automatically wants to use my personal cert for authenticating with
  the inbox server (in my case POP3). My provider's inbox server
  supports TLS and no secure authentication. When TB goes fetching
  e-mails, it asks me to select a certificate to identify with.

  Now, when I hit cancel, everything works fine. But when I select my
  identity, my cert gets rejected and I cannot fetch my e-mails anymore.

  At the moment, I have to either hit cancel (at least TB remembers that
  "preference" for this program session) or delete my personal cert from
  the cert list.

  My service provider tells me that it is not to be used = they do not
  support me authenticating with it (understandable).

  Now, is there an option somewhere so that I tell TB not to use my
  certificate for authenticating and instead use the usual password
  auth?

  Thanks in advance,
  Ernst Rohlicek
