DetailsDescription:
Using the official thunderbird package, version 38.0.1-1, I am unable to send mail via smtp, receiving an "unknown error" every time. I use an external smtp server (smtp.utoronto.ca), port 587, and starttls/login connection. Connection succeds using claws mail and thunderbird-beta-bin 38.0.1 from the AUR. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: attempt to send mail sending fails with a message that connection was unsuccessful due to an unknown error. |

You will need to contact your mail provider and inform them about this. Point them to: https://weakdh.org/

@Martin:
If it works with thunderbird 31.7.0-1 + nss 3.19.1-1 then it's a different issue. (The error message also indicates it's a separate issue.)
It would be helpful to know if the official mozilla builds exhibit the same issue or not.
Do you happen to know if there's a way to get a more helpful error message from thunderbird? I'm sure NSS gives an error message somewhere but I didn't see it in the command-line output.
Thanks,
Matt
@Martin: Thanks for testing. Seeing as the issue is reproducible using an official build, you should report it upstream. (I don't use any Exchange servers so I can't try to reproduce it myself.)
