[arch-general] Warning - Thunderbird 5 Breaks Access to pop accounts
Guys, This may just be on my box, but after update to thunderbird 5, all access to new messages on pop accounts broke. The error message said: Please send PASS command. It looks like the mailer wasn't responding properly to the server communications. I rebooted, I tried everything. Finally I had to downgrade to thunderbird-3.1.11-1 to restore access to my pop accounts. Anyone else see this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hmm... No matter if I manually entered my password or clicked 'retry' in response to tbirds "Please send PASS command" error, it would not connect. I shut down, restarted, restarted tbird several times, etc... - no joy. I have 5 pop accounts in tbird - maybe it has to do with multiple pop account handling. The downgrade was the only way to get back into my mail. I'll mess with it after work today, don't have time right now. Thanks for the reply. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Or maybe it is related to your mail server. Are they all the same? -- Cédric Girard

Yes, all the mail servers are the same -- just different accounts. I have updated a SuSE box to 5 and it all works OK there. I will install 5 again on Arch later and give it another go. Does anybody know if the mail communication is all done in the thunderbird package -- or-- is part of it in xulrunner, etc..? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

xulrunner doesn't even seem to be needed anymore, at least it's not a dependency anymore, either for firefox or thunderbird. -- Mauro Santos

What kind of security do you have on your mail server? Maybe there is a problem with certificate(s), or something like this. I thinks nss would be to blame for that. Best regards, Karol Babioch

I hate to admit it, but this ISP has no security - it's "plain". So that might be confusing the smarter apps looking for a cert?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I can't explain it. I dropped back to tty1 and updated to tbird 5 again and this time all the pop accounts are working. I don't know what happened with the last update. The only difference this time was I exited the desktop before updating. It makes no sense, but whatever didn't work with the last install seems to be working fine now. Thanks for your thoughts and feedback letting me know it was working for you. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Aargh! This is frustrating. On initial start, tbird 5 seems to check my accounts just fine, but when attempting a manual mail check, I get the following error: Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.suddenlinkmail.com responded: please send PASS command Anybody know why this would happen? What to check? It is repeatable every time. I'll wireshark the communication and see if that help... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hmm.. This seems intermittent. It happens, then it doesn't happen. When the pop account succeeds, It works like it should: 0040 2d 90 2b 4f 4b 20 70 6c 65 61 73 65 20 73 65 6e -.+OK pl ease sen 0050 64 20 50 41 53 53 20 63 6f 6d 6d 61 6e 64 0d 0a d PASS c ommand.. I'll keep trying to capture the failure and try and figure out exactly where it is failing. Murphy's law - with wireshark running -- the login works :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Works fine here with 7 pop3 accounts from 3 different providers. -- Mauro Santos
