According to this bug report, a fix has already been made. Unfortunately, this fix will not be available prior to Thunderbird 3, which is still in development, except by installing the extension as you have noted. Since this is a workaround, and the bug is not fixed in a released version, I will mark this bug as Confirmed. ** Changed in: mozilla-thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: thunderbird via https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387480 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- IMAP/certificate/security weakness/needing to restart Thunderbird https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239360 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
