Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.4.dfsg1-2
Severity: normal
The default security setting for IMAP accounts is [use
secure connection] "Never". It should be "TLS, if
available" at the very least! I'd suggest the following in
increasing order of desirability (and decreasing order of
simpleness):
* set the default to TLS, if available
* alert the user if TLS is not available and what this
means
* default to TLS, fallback to try SSL, then finally in
the clear after prompting the user
This is particularly an issue when you use the wizard to
create a new account, as it will automatically go off and
connect to your mail server in the clear (if such
connections are allowed by the server) even if a secure
connection is available.
