Hi,

i am trying to add my emailaccount to thunderbird in tails. I set everything up like in the screenshot (or with other settings, neither work). The password is correct.

Everytime a window pops up saying: "Programming Bug. Assertion failed, see log."

Here is the troubleshooting text from thunderbird:
