Hi All, when I went to use my laptop the other morning I was

The web site tried to negotiate an inadequate level of security.
live.thunderbird.net <https://live.thunderbird.net/>uses security
technology that is outdated and vulnerable to attack. An attacker
could easily reveal information which you thought to be safe. The
web site administrator will need to fix the server first before you
can visit the site.

I am Running Debian Bullseye and Thunderbird 78.11 64 bit
I have three email accounts on thunderbird all are working
collecting and sending emails ok in other devices and on web access
pages for each of the three accounts so the issue seems to be
Thunderbird. the other two accounts (Virgin Media and my Xendistar
account seem to be able to receive, but gmail fails completely on
send or receive (gmail work as normal on many other device s without
issue
I have had a look around but can not see any problems so where
should I start looking?
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=live.thunderbird.net&latest
This lists 6 addresses - but is very slow at doing the tests - I can
see a B for one so far after a couple of minutes… anyway, might help
work out if it is the endpoint or perhaps there’s a mixed https/http
message which you’re viewing? That can trigger warnings in Chrome?
I ran the test and all lines returned a B, does that mean the security
level for the SSL that Live.Thunderbird.net use is only at a B level
of quality\security which gmail find as to low hence they stop
working? What I don't understand that if if this was a large problem
to to user of gmail on Thunderbird then there would be a lot more
users with the same issue asking the same question as I am on the
internet. Is it simply have to wait until such times that Thunderbird
do something to improve there SSL?

I have found it is a Debian bug
