1853440 - Sending mail fails the first time after confirming a security certificate exception

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Tristan Miller]

The first time a user tries to send an e-mail using an SMTP server that presents an expired security certificate, Thunderbird pops up its usual Security Exception dialog that allows the user to permanently or temporarily accept the certificate. If the user does (temporarily) allow the certificate, the dialog disappears, but Thunderbird then pops up another dialog informing the user that sending the message failed, and returns the user to the composer window. If the user then tries to send the message a second time, the operation succeeds.

Thunderbird shouldn't present the user with an error dialog after they accept the expired certificate. Thunderbird should instead send the message successfully.
