Description

While working on Bug #17277 I noticed that not only had we forgotten to disable the MX autoconfig method, but also the MS Exchange one. However, there seems to be proglems with the latter one, so let’s deal with it in this ticket instead.

Details for the problem can be found here: Bug #17277#note-9

Hi @anonym, could you please push the corresponding icedove.git branch? Otherwise, we’ll lose the new patch next time we update our patches (which are getting more fuzzy BTW, so I’d like us to do that soonish).

The corresponding doc is https://tails.boum.org/contribute/release_process/thunderbird/

These instructions are outdated (refers to the tails/stretch, which was last used for version 60.6.1 a year ago), but I’ll update them as I go along.

When the patches were updated last your said in Bug #17481#note-3 that you would rebase them on the tails/buster branch, but it don’t see that in there. intrigeri, do you have something to push? Otherwise I'll just fix tails/buster@ from scratch, by resetting it and importing our patches.

The HEAD of my local tails/buster branch is b2f25ff12716472a70f1648f4529304daa9d4a82, same as what I see on https://git.tails.boum.org/icedove/log/?h=tails/buster
It seems to have the correct content to me.

Or am I misunderstanding what you’re looking for?

Apart of that, sorry for not updating the doc last time I used it!
