Hi Stan,

you most probably think I'm just too lazy & impationed to google my 
problems - but it's not. I more and more get the feeling that this is 
ether a Thunderbird incompatibly or a little switch which is missed in 
the dovecot.conf to get compatible - but I'm not getting it.
I set up Dovecot SSL/TLS & Postfix SSL/TLS for several times succesfully 
now ... and now oll of a sudden it stops working with Thunderbird 
version 3.1 ?!

Out of my frustration I was even using http://dovecot.org/doc/mkcert.sh 
to create the neccesarry files - but with the same result ;(


Therefore I would really more then appreciate a hepful hint if possible 
- cause I'm really stucking at a point where I'm not getting to anything 
anymore.



Here are three screenshots of the Thunderbird situation - even though 
it's in german - I think everybody knows how it looks in english isnce 
it's a common dialog.

*IMAP:*

*SMTP:*

Local: same as public - works



And here again the mailog output:

server dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): 
rip=84.157.133.248, lip=192.168.1.100, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() 
failed: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca

It's always the same when it fails ...




And this is how my dovecot.conf looks like:

[...]

|##
## SSL settings
##
ssl = yes
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/mail/mail.cert
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/mail/mail.key|

[...]


Thank you
