Dear Mozilla Team

Lately I noticed that since version 102.x email addresses with a hyphen after the @ sign for example namexyz@noreplay-mail comes a certificate error regardless of the toplevel domain.

As a result, I have tried various email tools (proprietary as well as open source) on Windows, Mac and Linux. Always with the same result. Certificate error xyz

Procedure:

  1. the first time I start the Thunderbird client with the version number from 102.
  2. i enter the necessary information (display name, email address and password)
  3. usually for e-mail addresses without hyphen (-) in the domain name come the ports (imap or pop)
  4. if I try to accept the error message and the certificate error, this message pops up about 6 times, until it can only be solved by closing Thunderbird after that

In the meantime I have found a workaround, but it is a pity for the so far very good engine of Thunderbird with the automatic detection of the ports, that this could not be fixed "yet" since version 102.

Workaround: Same as steps 1 to 3, then click on the item "Edit manually". After that you can add the email ports. So far I was used to this exclusively from Outlook from Microsoft.

Maybe in the future it will be possible again to enter the mail address when creating a mailbox with a hyphen using the automatic configuration.

For any additional questions I am very happy to be at your disposal
