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.

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?
