Description Klaus Ethgen 2025-05-04 16:53:44 UTC 
I have a caldav server using radicale which works well with thunderbird. But after update to 138.0, the account gets disabled and when I try to enable it (or even delete and reinstall it) I get a authentication failure.

Going back to 137.0.2 solves the issue and the account work again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mail-client/thunderbird-bin-138.0
2. Use caldav account with password auth
Actual Results:  
I get authentication error (With no much more information)

Expected Results:  
It syncs the calendar

mail-client/thunderbird-bin isn't covered by https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Binary_Host_Quickstart

This happens with thunderbird-bin too right? I don't think there's much that can be done on Gentoo's side, this sounds like an upstream bug. Especially if you can point out that it broke between 137.0.2 and 138.0.
