History:

web client address: http://mx.d-thinker.org:9980

mail client configuration:
pop server address: mx.d-thinker.org, port: 995, using SSL authentication
smtp server address: mx.d-thinker.org, port: 25 and 587, using TLS authentication
imap with SSL, port 993

Tested Thunderbird setting:
IMAP:
Server name: mx.d-thinker.org
Port: 993
Security: SSL/TLS

Port: 25(prefer) or 587
Authentication method: Normal password
Security: STARTTLS

The maximum message size is 50MB.

Thunderbird talk to our zimbra mail server need check TLS version. New version of thunderbird only access TLS version 3 and above, but our zimbra version is 1. We need to change Thunderbird config file to fix the problem:

Code:
setting -- search config editor -- set security.tls.version.min to 1

Thunderbird versions
We had a lot of problem configuring thunderbird on centos 8 to talk with our zimbra mail server. I tried to configure openssl config to use MinProtocol = TLSv1 and it works for 'openssl s_client' but does not work with thunrderbird. Finally, I downloaded thunderbird 68.10 from gcp://world/software/thunderbird/ and it appears to work well with our zimbra mail server.

Example location of "opensslcnf.config" : "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/"
Note: different version of openssl may change the location of "opensslcnf.config".

thunderbird's GCP is:
gcp://world/software/thunderbird/

Here is the GCP info

How can a person apply for a d-thinker email address?

I think we can create a thread for this purpose. And the guardian of d-thinker.org mail server subscribe that thread. Once receive email then create an account, if the person give reason why they need one. So we may ask person give info like Account Application on D-thinker .

Dr.Gu: What's your opinion?

RE: d-thinker.org mailbox - lingu - 01-14-2016 08:29 PM

Thunderbird complains weak keys due to the logjam attack -- https://weakdh.org/

The zimbra server should use a stronger key. Otherwise Thunderbird declines to connect to the server to do POP3.

As a workaround, I set the following items to false so that Thunderbird does not tell the server it can use short keys, and this appears to make POP3 work with the server with a weak key.

security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha;false
security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha;false

POP3 uses SSL/TLS with a normal password without encryption? This is what works for me in Thunderbird, and it takes me quite a while to guess this setting.

I just kept using an old version of nss and thunderbird that can accept mx.d-thinker.org's keys http://tab.d-thinker.org/showthread.php?tid=3484

I came across this https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Disabling_the_use_of_weak_DH_keys_in_Zimbra_Collaboration_mailboxd . We may consider the solution there instead of client-by-client configurations.

The resolution in the linked page suggests upgrading zimbra. That is fine. Another way is to modify the server code or certificate to use stronger keys.

OK. It's worth trying. Make sure that 1. you can go back, 2. the down time is short, 3. you test the email system well after the change.

Yes, it can use command of zimbra go back. the down time is short since just need restart service. I have done it before, and it works to me without setting with thunderbird.

we can start from "/etc/ssl" to looking for it.

Thunderbird versions
We had a lot of problem configuring thunderbird on centos 8 to talk with our zimbra mail server. I tried to configure openssl config to use MinProtocol = TLSv1 and it works for 'openssl s_client' but does not work with thunrderbird. Finally, I downloaded thunderbird 68.10 from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/ and it appears to work well with our zimbra mail server.

Example location of "opensslcnf.config" : "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/"
Note: different version of openssl may change the location of "opensslcnf.config".

After test with zhihao, find out this way not work for thunderbird 78.0 or 68.9.
Trying to store thunderbird 68.10 to GCP
define gcp://world/software/thunderbird/pkg for store thunderbird packsges
sp: g1b

RR zhihao

审核gcp路径的时候,可以不用加上服务器 sp: g1b 位置。 其他没有问题。

I've found a thunderbird 68.10 windows version, I want to upload it to gcp://world/software/thunderbird/pkg/win64/
Is this a right path?

如果出现"thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account"的问题

建议使用File/Offline/Work Offline

离线使用就无法收发邮件了,还是得搞清楚问题的起因。等我今天下午到办公室一起看一下。

mail client configuration:
pop server address: mx.d-thinker.org, port: 995, using SSL authentication
smtp server address: mx.d-thinker.org, port: 25 and 587, using TLS authentication
imap with SSL, port 993

Tested Thunderbird setting:
IMAP:
Server name: mx.d-thinker.org
Port: 993
Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication method: Normal password

SMTP:
Server name: mx.d-thinker.org
Port: 25(prefer) or 587
Authentication method: Normal password
Security: STARTTLS

The maximum message size is 50MB.

Thunderbird talk to our zimbra mail server need check TLS version. New version of thunderbird only access TLS version 3 and above, but our zimbra version is 1. We need to change Thunderbird config file to fix the problem:

Code:
setting -- search config editor -- set security.tls.version.min to 1

thunderbird's GCP is:
gcp://world/software/thunderbird/

Here is the GCP info

i think the info here is obsolete. We will copy some params into the user info for d-thinker.org, which has the up-to-date info.
