thunderbird, IMAP, and STARTTLS
This is probably an upstream problem, but I'm just putting my feelers
out to see if I'm missing something, or thunderbird is missing something
I consider absolutely essential. And that's what my subject states.
Thunderbird (and Mozilla-Mail, for that matter) doesn't seem to support
STARTTLS for IMAP. No, I'm not talking about IMAPS (port 993), but
honest to goodness STARTTLS over port 143 like it should.
So is it me, or is thunderbird really lacking in this area?
