Hi folks,

I am facing problems when using Thuderbird to acess my "old" imap
server (uw-imap).

After upgrading from an old thunderbird version, the interaction with
my imap server became unstable.

It seems that the latest version 17.0.5 tries to resume the SSL
session (sending a SSL Hello with a previous session number) and keep
retransmitting it trying to resume the conection. At this point, the
app stalls and the only way to keep the interaction with the imap
server is to close and open thunderbird again. In this way, a brand
new one session is stablished.

Is anyone facing this kind of problem?

Thanks in advance,
Tiago

ps.: After analyzing the capture of an older thunderbird (2.0)
version, the app seems to initialize a new session every time it has
to interact to the imap server.
