-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
As the problem still persists with the newest version of thunderbird (icedove 3.1.12-1) I searched again for a solution to finally unpin the icedove package. The migration assistant incorrectly replaced my username with an empty string as it contains an umlaut. To make mail fetching work again the empty string has to be filled in once more. Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Config Editor->Filter: username ... mail.server.server1.userName The new value can again contain umlauts as only the migration assistant, but not icedove in general seems to have problems with non ascii-characters.
