=== ''STARTTLS'' does not work for Thunderbird ===

<note question>
Log entry states:
<code>
cyrus/imap[2712]: STARTTLS negotiation failed: [192.168.1.12]
</code>
and as a result the connection cannot be established.
</note>
<note tip>
Check if the traffic is not intersected by network antivirus.
  - For Avast you can add the exception.
  - For [[http://www.kaspersky.ru|KAV/KIS]] go to //Settings -> Options -> Network -> Monitored ports: Monitor selected ports only -> Select... -> switch off IMAP//((See also [[http://forum.kaspersky.com/lofiversion/index.php/t108328.html|post in KAV forum]])) (I failed to add Thunderbird to exclusion: in //Rules Settings -> Applications tab// Thunderbird is listed as trusted). Also try to [[http://support.kaspersky.ru/kav2009/onlinesec?qid=208636006|install the certificate]].
  - For Kaspersky PURE go //My Computer Protection -> Settings (in top right corner) -> Network: Monitor selected ports only -> Select... -> disable IMAP//.
