Title:
  OCSP failure gives "unknown error"

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When performing tls authentication to an SMTP server which has an
  unverified OCSP record, as is the case with all new StartSSL
  certificates for about 24hrs, thunderbird reports the following error:

  Sending of the message failed.
  The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.example.com 
for an unknown reason. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings 
are correct and try again.

  This is very confusing and impossible to troubleshoot. It should
  report "The server's SSL certificate failed OCSP validation.

  To reproduce, go get a startssl certificate, add it to an smtp server,
  connect with thunderbird, receive error. In settings, disable ocsp
  verification, and it connects with no error and behaves as expected.
