Hi All, when I went to use my laptop the other morning I was

The web site tried to negotiate an inadequate level of security.
live.thunderbird.net <https://live.thunderbird.net/>uses security
technology that is outdated and vulnerable to attack. An attacker
could easily reveal information which you thought to be safe. The web
site administrator will need to fix the server first before you can
visit the site.

I am Running Debian Bullseye and Thunderbird 78.11 64 bit
I have three email accounts on thunderbird all are working collecting
and sending emails ok in other devices and on web access pages for
each of the three accounts so the issue seems to be Thunderbird. the
other two accounts (Virgin Media and my Xendistar account seem to be
able to receive, but gmail fails completely on send or receive (gmail
work as normal on many other device s without issue
I have had a look around but can not see any problems so where should
I start looking?
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=live.thunderbird.net&latest
This lists 6 addresses - but is very slow at doing the tests - I can
see a B for one so far after a couple of minutes… anyway, might help
work out if it is the endpoint or perhaps there’s a mixed https/http
message which you’re viewing? That can trigger warnings in Chrome?
I ran the test and all lines returned a B, does that mean the security
level for the SSL that Live.Thunderbird.net use is only at a B level of
quality\security which gmail find as to low hence they stop working?
What I don't understand that if if this was a large problem to to user
of gmail on Thunderbird then there would be a lot more users with the
same issue asking the same question as I am on the internet. Is it
simply have to wait until such times that Thunderbird do something to
improve there SSL?
