Package: mozilla-thunderbird Version: 1.0.2-3 Severity: enhancement
It would be handy if Thunderbird could automatically negotiate SSL encryption for IMAP connections on port 143 by using the STARTTLS command.
At present, the only way to select SSL seems to be to go into the account settings dialog and tick the SSL box. Users tend to forget to do this: it would be better if TLS was just enabled automatically when the server supports it. Also, the existing "SSL" option causes Thunderbird to connect to the imaps service on port 993, which causes trouble with some corporate firewalls that block outbound connections on that port.
