Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
For years I have been reporting this same bug and I see, with this fresh

enabling the Use secure authentication tick box in the server
settings. Odd. None of the other servers require this, nor do any of
the other clients I mentioned in my first posting. IOW, Thunderbird is
the only client that
FURTHER UPDATE: Apparently my conclusion that using secure authentication
solved the problem was a bit premature. It was able to negotiate successfully
only ONCE. All other attempts fail
_at the client end_. The log-in to the server is actually successful, but
Thunderbird is so confused
