(Whiteboard: [tls1.2 required] [pop.free.fr])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0

Steps to reproduce:

Install Thunderbird version 78 on a PC with Windows 10
Before this version, it worked perfectly

Actual results:

With the pop protocol, we do not receive messages

Expected results:

I should have received the messages from my mailbox on my PC and the messages should have disappeared from my mailbox from my French supplier "FREE"

Thunderbird now requires TLS 1.2 and that server is using outdated SSL versions. Maybe you could try to reach out to them since it's a fairly large provider as I understand it.

I had the same problem with the thunderbird 78.2.2 only the imap could use the ssl protocole.
The pop is working with the 110 port and no security either tls or ssl and the password could not be encrypted on my zimbra free account.
I think that other FIA worked with the pop ssl protocol.
Besides, I had to debug thunderbird for 20 hours before I could retrieve all my emails, and I found no ways to have a solid TB 78 working.
It missed up my profile.
Happily I found a saved profile on the directory from wich I installed TB78: It could be useful to indicate that.
I advise not to upgrade to TB 78 : stay in the TB68 version until the next stable version.

It missed up my profile, just after I included my pgp keys in TB 78.2.2. Then I tried to install TB 78.2.2 with the old enigmail and it bugged again.

The pop protocol does not work with the french provider "free.fr" when using thunderbird version 78. I can't use the imap protocol because free does not allow to store all my emails. Fortunately I stored the entire profile of TB68 before installing TB78 otherwise I would have lost all emails of this year.

Your server uses an outdated TLS version. You can override to still use the vulnerable version, using the security.tls.version.min pref - or preferably, make sure the server is updated.
