thunderbird is not asking/informing about unknown cert chain

[Frank Lanitz]

I wanted to add an IMAP-account using IMAPS with an CAcert certificate. For some reasons, Thunderbird doesn't seem to know the cert, which might be ok. But instead of telling that it cannot verify the certificate on adding a new account dialog, its just trying for ever and pushing error message to error console:

"xxx.xx:993 uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)"

Hello Frank,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER

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

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G
