It really happens, at least there (and thunderbird hasn't been updated,
only selinux was - so it was happening before).
So there are lots of work to do with existing rules before even thinking
of moving to new bits like httpd port policy.
Vanilla x86_64 thunderbird (thunderbird-1.5-0.5.1.rc1) (installed a week
ago when evo started dying on no ascii folders), only extension : enigmail
0.93.1 (not that it actually works)
Rawhide killed evo a week ago (#174931)
It killed thunderbird today
I'm running out of imap clients. I still have squirrelmail, and it's not
even the rawhide one, since that one started misbehaving at least a month
before (#162852)
Do you want a bug entry for this problem too ?
