Client: Thunderbird 128.2.3esr (64-bit) - Windows 10 Server: Apache James 3.8.1

I have an internal email server with a self signed certificate. IMAP connections fail with a certificate error. SMTP connections succeed. This occurs on two instances of Thunderbird on separate windows PCs.

This used to work OK, but stopped working after a server restart.

The thunderbird log shows the following/

Post the above before I'd finished.

SMTP connection repeatedly asks to confirm certificate exception. I guess this may mean there is something wrong with the certificate but I don't know what. IMAP doesn't get as far as requesting an exception.

What is IMAP doing that SMTP isn't.

Helpful?
