Description

When the Icedove patches land upstream we should alert TorBirdy devs about :

  • mailnews.auto_config.ssl_only which is set by default in Icedove and
  • the need to se mailnews.auto_config.dns_mx_lookup.enabled to False in Torbirdy.

The latter is done in Tails already.

This depends on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=971347
Currently we are unable to run upstream’s test suite, so we’re somewhat stuck with testing our own patch.

@intrigeri: I think this should be part of FT work, along with Feature #6156.

TorBirdy is mostly unmaintained upstream so we’ll see, once Feature #6156, where is the best place to set these prefs for Tails and possibly more. I don’t think having a ticket to track this will achieve much so I’m closing this one.
