Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:6310 janssen]:
 > Can’t u check, if there is STARTTLS and just ask, if there is no
 STARTTLS or SSL activated? Would be nice, if that would work, don’t mind
 if not...

 Yes, this is possible if you configured your account manually using an
 earlier version of TorBirdy, because we were not enabling any connection
 security for manually configured accounts.

 This has been fixed in the latest release (0.0.10). I think you won't have
 this issue now, so please try and let us know.
