can you please make some logs about the activity of Icedove (after you
have checked the points following)?
https://wiki.debian.org/Icedove#Debugging_Icedove_Activity

Please check also the Error Console inside Icedove (Ctrl+Shift+j).

BTW: You really mean 24.7.0? This version is only available via
stable-security! Which distribution you are running on?

There are several bugs around this error message that mostly related to
GNUtls (on the server side). For example

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737921

What cipher suite is configured inside the exim configuration?
Please also read this article to see which cipher suite Mozilla is
supporting
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS

What kind of CA you are using? If it is a md5 signature you have to use
an other not md5 hashed certificate.
Do you have checked your settings for security.tls.version.min and
security.tls.version.max? The *.min should be 0 and *.max should be 3,
if not your client will not support all version for SSL/TLS.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.tls.version.*

I strongly believe this report is not a Icedove/Thunderbird related
problem.

Regards
Carsten
