Bug#319466: automatically use STARTTLS for IMAP connections

2005-07-22 Thread Philip Blundell

Package: mozilla-thunderbird
Version: 1.0.2-3
Severity: enhancement

It would be handy if Thunderbird could automatically negotiate SSL 
encryption for IMAP connections on port 143 by using the STARTTLS command.


At present, the only way to select SSL seems to be to go into the 
account settings dialog and tick the SSL box.  Users tend to forget to 
do this: it would be better if TLS was just enabled automatically when 
the server supports it.  Also, the existing SSL option causes 
Thunderbird to connect to the imaps service on port 993, which causes 
trouble with some corporate firewalls that block outbound connections on 
that port.

 Is this same as this upstream request for enhancement:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60377 ?

Yes, looks like it.  

 PS: Philip, there is no enhancement severity, it should be a wishlist :)

Whoops, sorry about that.

thanks

Bug#309933: libgpewidget1: request to remove dependency on cairo

 I am the maintainer of the cairo libraries in debian and I have
 recently made the request that they be removed from sarge as the API
 is about to make a big change and it is probably a bad idea to ship
 the old api version in a release:
   http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/05/msg01167.html
   
 Although this request is still under consideration, libgpewidget is
 one of the few (2) apps using cairo going into sarge.  I checked the
 libgpewidget1 source and it seems there is alternate code if cairo is
 not available, which was easy for me to enable with $(make) CAIRO=no
 in the build rule.
 
 Can I request libgpewidget is rebuilt without cairo, removing the
 build dependency also.

Seems reasonable.  I'll make that change.

Thanks
