I've been using Thunderbird for ages without any (real) problems. A few days ago, Thunderbird updated to version 78.5.0. Shortly thereafter the problems started. I can't remember if it started immediately after the update so I'm not sure if the update was the direct cause.
Anyway, every time I try to retrieve my mail (by clicking "Get Messages") a pop-up appears:
This pop-up isn't new to me since I'm using my own mail server with a self-signed certificate. So every time I update the certificate, I get this popup. It is new however the pop-up appears while nothing has changed (other than Thunderbird updating).
If I click "Confirm Security Exception", the popup disappears but no mail is retrieved. If I click "Get Messages" again, the pop-up reappears. Oddly enough, If I go to Thunderbird's Certificate Manager, I see the certificate was actually added.
So that's one strange thing. It isn't the strangest thing however. What's even stranger is that the location (email.glasshouse.nl:995) isn't the address of my mail server. If I look under Thunderbird's "Server Settings", I see the correct address. Even if I change the server address to something else (the IP address for instance), the pop-up still displays email.glasshouse.nl as location. I'm not worried this is some kind of hack or virus or malware since I recognize the address - it's the mail server I used well over ten years ago (in Thunderbird).
So what is actually going on here? And more important, how can I solve this so I can get to my email again?
Thanks in advance!
Had some time this morning and did a bit of digging.
There is a cert_override.txt file in your thunderbird profiles directory, stop thunderbird, open it and change the wrong/invalid hostname to the correct one, save and start thunderbird.
On the file itself it says:
# This is a generated file! Do not edit.
So editing it may not help!
My problem is really similar, every time i reboot Windows 10, Thunderbird asks again for adding the exception; please note that i had also verified at ThunderBird start that the exception it will add is already present there, so after the window where you tell it to store it permanently nothing is changed in the configuration of certificates exceptions.
I my case is Avast the one that cause the problem, since deactivating eMail scan the problem does not show until i reactivate Avast mail shield.
The weird thing id that in old versions of Thunderbird / Avast / Windows 10 that problem (re-ask for exception after windows reboot) never appeared.
Hope a fix is found soon, it is getting mad a lot of people.

Disclaimer: I'm answering my own question.
I've just installed Postgres(version does not matter, I checked) and pgAdmin-4;
However, when I try to launch pgAdmin-4, it says 'Can't reach this page'.
I looked it up, tried everything, including pg_hba.conf, pg_dba.conf modifications.
The solution sounds really simple: Change your default browser to Chrome/IE(tried these). It does not open on the MS Edge browser.
I had it as default, since I was working on other html files, and didn't want them to interfere with Chrome tabs that were already open on opening those files.
Wasted a whole day on this, especially none of the signs pointed to a browser issue. Hope you aren't stuck on this!
If this does not work, you might want to look here: pgadmin4 : postgresql application server could not be contacted.
the error message on Edge
so today I wanted to play some roblox. so I went on, hit play, and, it just loaded very slowly. I didn't think it was broken, so I continued to wait. after about 30 seconds it came op with the error
Connection Error: HttpSendRequest failed: HRESULT 0x80072efd
I looked how to fix this, tried every solution there was, and, nothing. I did have an update a couple days ago but it was working after that, so idk. whats going on. I'm very mad because I just got a Roblox gift card and I cant use it.
Go to Control Panel and Click on Network and Internet then click on Internet options then click on connections (in-between content and programs) then click on LAN settings then make sure the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox is unchecked. If this is done open roblox again and check if it still isnt working then roblox must be having trouble with the server or they are working on it so have temporarily shut it down.
I'm coming here today because I've encountered an issue I can't seem to be able to solve on my own. I've been working for my company on Unity for 2 months now, and since 2-3 weeks I am no longer able to connect to my account via Unity.
Here's what happens when I try to do so :
I launch Unity, works fine.
I try to sign in : I can write down my mail, my password, it even tells me if I'm typing the wrong password, but as soon as the password is the good one, it crashes with this error window :
I sent a mail to the support, and even though they were quite quick to answer, it didn't help me much, they advised to uninstall and delete every single files from Unity, as well as try to disable firewall and antivirus, and to check if the problem persisted when I changed my internet connection. None of those worked. I also tried connection with another account, doesn't seem to work either. Finally, I can connect without a single issue to Unity's website with my ID/password.
I have 1000+ files marked for add that I would like to submit using perforce. During the submit everything seems to work fine but after an hour or so into the submit, using the p4v client, I get an error saying "unable to connect to server...as user... try reconnecting"
This seems to happen every time I the p4v client to submit. Also tried using the commandline and get this message after a while into the submit saying "ssl send failed", "cannot find file specified WSAECONNABORT"
I suspect it has to do with SSL: I am currently hosting my perforce server on assembla.com as they wont give me the option to disable SSL. Is this an SSL problem?
How can I go about solving this?
Pretty desperate and grateful for help.
I've tried the following to no avail:
uninstalling and reinstalling
downgrading p4v client versions,
x86 and x64 bit versions of the p4v client
Ethernet instead of WiFi
During the submit everything is fine:
After about an hour I get this error:
If I press the "close p4v" button, this pops up:
Since p4v is giving me all these errors, I try to submit vi
commandline but still get error about an hour into the submit saying:
SOLVED IT! instead of trying to submit all the files marked for adds in one big chunk, I submitting it in small portions at a time like 300 or so instead of submitting all 1000+ files at a time.
so to recap the solution to this problem is submit in small portions instead of submitting them all at once.
I hope this helps anybody!
Sounds like the Perforce server is running out of resources. In Perforce, submits are atomic; It either totally works or totally fails. With such a large submit, if the server ran out of memory, or temporary disk space or something, and choked, the submit would fail. As you found, submitting in more manageable chunks doesn't trigger it.
We have a legacy server service running on a Windows 7 desktop that keeps crashing with a popup window reporting a memory error. The popup stops all processing on the machine. Once the "OK" button is clicked on the popup the system recovers and moves on. The root problem appears to be inside a compiled DLL that the application uses.
This popup usually happens between 9pm and 11pm every couple days.
It happens when no one is signed into the PC, so the popup displays in front of the CTRL+ALT+Delete message for signing in.
I can click OK and it continues processing, signing into the computer.
CHALLENGE:
This is a legacy application that will be replaced when budget allows (maybe next Summer) so there is no budget for upgrade or paying a consultant to fix the root problem.
All we need to do is click the OK button when the "Application Popup" event is thrown (logged in the Event Manager)
I know that it would be WRONG to write a script to satisfy the popup. Fixing the root cause is the CORRECT action.. but we have no support to spend money at this time. And since it's a compiled DLL, we can't fix the code.
Is there a PowerShell script that could:
Watch for a specific event "Application Popup" and if it occurs simulate pressing the ENTER key?
Run in the background, signed out of a user account.
If PowerShell isn't the answer, is there a better macro or script tool to get us by?
I know it's "bad practice" but we just need to get along until we get some budget dollars.
Powershell probably isn't the best answer in this case. I'd suggest using something like AutoIt (the WinWaitActive function would be useful in your case).
I have used AutoIt in the past and have found it very useful for Windows GUI automation.
