Thunderbird and SoGo connector: Never asked for credentials - thunderbird

I'm trying to access my owncloud address book using Thunderbird and the SoGo connector under Windows.
Under Linux I have no issues whatsoever - it works perfectly.
Under Windows however I'm never being prompted for any credentials after I added a new remote address book and I'm therefore unable to retrieve my address book.
I tried deleting and recreating the address book several times, restarting Thunderbird and Windows itself, but I never got a credentials prompt.
I checked the 'saved passwords' section in the Thunderbird settings to ensure that no wrong credentials are stored (because SoGo fails silently if the credentials are incorrect).
The owncloud address book URL is correct as well.
I'm using Thunderbird 31.1.1 and SoGo 24.0.6
Thanks in advance for any hints.

Ok, I resolved it myself by downgrading to SoGo Connector 10.0.6.

After you installed the addon, restarted thunderbird and entered the uri to you owncloud addressbook, restart thunderbird again. SoGo Connector should then ask for the credentials.

SoGo Connector never asks for CardDAV credentials in Thunderbird 38 under Windows, probably a bug in TB, Lightning or SoGo.
Resolved by downgrading to Thunderbird 31, there everything works as expected.

I solved this problem by first removing the SOGo Connector and then installing the Saved Password Manager Addon for Thunderbird and created a new username / password of type annotations (or similar..). Afterwards I reinstalled the SOGo Connector and it worked right away. I found the solution on this german Webmail-Site. The proposed way of installing the Saved Password Manager afterwards didn't work. They suggest this workaround if you get asked for the password everytime, I wasn't asked a single time.

Thunderbird: Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder

So I've been getting this error using Thunderbird with my Gmail account when trying to send emails:
Thunderbird: Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-
This is actually happening with all my Mail accounts and not just Thunderbird...
Things I have tried:
I changed the connection security on server settings from STARTTLS to SSL/TLS.
I tried changing THUNDERBIRD preferences editor security.tls.version.min from 3 to 1
Both didn't seem to work for me. Anyone have the same problem and found a solution to this?
Help menu -> turn troubleshoot mode on
this will disable all your addons and restart thunderbird in troubleshoot mode on.
This solved my problem.
go to settings /passwords/ note both SMTP and IMAP passwords , delete the registered passwords, restart Thunderbird enter the password again IMAP, then create a message Send it , it will prompt for SMTP password, enter it. That's it, it worked for me
I just reconfigured "Copies & Folders"
When sending messages, automatically:
Place a copy in:
(and selected "Sent" Folder on:)
Previously "Other" was selected (and worked just fine...)
This happened from one day to the other, with no update from Thunderbird... this is very very strange!

VSCode Remote Server stuck on initializing server

I'm currently trying to access a remote server using VS Code's Remote SSH extension. I haven't had a problem when using it before (that was around a month ago) but today when I tried to access the server I ran into some trouble.
I have the hostname and everything configured in a config file, and so I just click on that option and type in the password. However, VS Code seems to be stuck on "Opening Remote..." for the past hour or so. The dialogue I get in the terminal is as follows:
username#host's password:
Running remote connection script
Acquiring lock on /home/username/.vscode-server/bin/abcdefghijklmnop1234567989/
vscode-remote-lock.abcdefghijklmnop1234567989
Installing to /home/username/.vscode-server/bin/abcdefghijklmnop1234567989...
Downloading with wget
Does anybody know what the problem might be? Is this normal?
EDIT
As soon as I posted this the connection was successfully made. However, I would also like to still know what the problem was and if it normally takes around an hour, and what this process might be doing. I also believe it would be helpful to the community overall.
Thank you.
I've faced the same issue just now and realized that firewall protection has something to do with it.
As soon as I disabled it, the remote connection was established and I managed to see my code again.

The parameter is incorrect (WinMgmt)

I have a BizTalk 2013r2 Standard Edition application server with CU7 installed. The BizTalk databases are hosted on a separate Sql Server 2014 server. This setup has been working fine for many months - until today! A colleague used the BizTalk admin console to make a change to the address BizTalk uses to the reach the SMTP server, by selecting Platform Settings\Adapters\SMTP\\properties.
After making this change, on attempting to refresh the BizTalk Admin Console, the following error is displayed:
From what I've googled, it seems this may be due to some corruption in the SSO database. I have a backup of the SSO database, and a backup of the SSO key along with the password. Before restoring the backup of the SSO database, I wanted to check that I would be able to restore the key, so I ran ssoconfig -restoreSecret from the command line. I was prompted to enter the password. If I intentionally enter the wrong password then it tells me the password is incorrect. However, if I enter the correct password then it displays the message "BAD DATA".
Although the BizTalk admin console is currently unusable, thankfully the BizTalk host instance continue to run and messages are being processed as expected.
Can anyone please suggest why I'm getting the "BAD DATA" message, or perhaps a work-around in order to solve the problem?
I had this problem again and blogged about it at BizTalk WinMgt error solution. As Colin says the hard part is identifying the corrupt handler. It is probably the SMTP send handler but you should check this using WBEMTEST first. I found this link helpful on using WBEMTest. The parameter is incorrect (WinMgt)" error when refreshing the BizTalk Group in BizTalk Administration Console
In my case a quick fix to bring the BizTalk Administration Console back to life was to hack the database. N.B. This probably won't be supported by MS. In my case it was the FTP send handler that screwed up. So I ran
USE [BizTalkMgmtDb]
GO
DECLARE #return_value int
EXEC #return_value = [dbo].[adm_SendHandler2_Delete]
#AdapterName = N'FTP',
#HostName = N'Sending32'
SELECT 'Return Value' = #return_value
GO
At this point the BizTalk Administration console came back to life. In my case it worked because I was creating a new handler but in your case you just edited it. It will take all your SMTP handling out.
I then fixed the corruption using the BizTalk Administration console.
In my case I had to set every FTP receive and send adapter temporarily to a FILE adapter.
I then deleted the FTP adapter and then re-added it. Finally I reset the all the change receive and send location from FILE back to FTP.
This was all very scary on a live system.
Finally I believe that this is bug in BizTalk 2013 R2 because I've seen it happen on 2 systems and now I have heard that the same thing happened to you.
The WinMgt error happens when one of the Adapters setting has gotten itself corrupted. See WinMgt error when refreshing Group Hub
Removing and re-adding the adapter to the host usually fixes it. The trick of course is identifying which Adapter / Host, I would start with the SMTP adapter in your case.

Eclipse Luna Not Storing Proxy Authentication Username and Password

I'm trying to get Eclipse Luna (on Debian 8) to connect to the Internet via a WiFi proxy that requires authentication. I am able to set the proxy host, port, username and password after which I apply the settings and close the dialog. The next time I open it, it does not have the username and password settings, although the host and port are retained correctly. The Active Provider is set to Manual as required.
For some reason, it doesn't seem to be saving the authentication details and I'm not able to connect to the Internet.
Is this a bug or I'm I doing something wrong?
Also, in what file does Eclipse store the proxy settings? Maybe I can go in there and make the changes directly if this is a GUI problem.
Edit: A look at the Error Log gives a vital clue. It says: No secure storage modules found.
I worked around this issue by adding the proxy settings to the eclipse.ini file as specified in this SO post.

How can I use Mandrill App as system message mailer on Parallels Panel?

Currently I have my CentOS system set up with Parallels Panel and have my mailing system working nicely. But I'd prefer to have my system messages to be mailed using Mandrill App (MailChimp guys).
I have it working now with a kind of a mixed setup. Simple, though working. But now I get an error in my mail logs saying the following:
Jan 4 10:41:11 shinjuku postfix/smtp[29469]: certificate verification failed for smtp.mandrillapp.com[46.137.69.113]:25: untrusted issuer /C=ZA/ST=Western Cape/L=Cape Town/O=Thawte Consulting cc/OU=Certification Services Division/CN=Thawte Premium Server CA/emailAddress=premium-server#thawte.com`
After this I've tried configuring the smtp_tls_CApath and smtpd_tls_CApath to point to /etc/ssl/certs, but still no luck on this part.
Does someone have an idea on how I can get this working to have ALL system messages to be sent using Mandrill, instead of built-in config?
Mark, for CentOS try this for your CAPath/CAfile
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
