Update: I couldn't abide the thought of having to use Outlook, and having the feeling that the S/MIME bug won't be fixed anytime soon, I managed to pull a backup from right before the Thunderbird upgrade to 102. I then went back to TB-91 and locked it in place. I can encrypt again now, and my 32-GB of decades of saved messages is whole, except for the last two days, which is okay.
You know that the message store in Thunderbird is separate from all the configs. You can restore a previous backup and keep the mail folders intact.
I didn't have a problem with the configs, but with corruption of the message store containing decades of traffic for multiple email accounts. There was list traffic about the upgrade corrupting the message store and altering it so that an older version of TB couldn't be used. I've been dragging this message store around for almost 20-years and I didn't want it corrupted. So I'm back to where I was two-days before the upgrade to TB 102. I've locked TB 91 so I'll be good until a better-tested new version is out.
What I mean is that you could have restored TB91 and configs while leaving the message store intact, to see if it worked, not missing any email. If not, then restore the messages from backup.
In my case, my message store is not kept by Thunderbird, but by a local (same computer) dovecot imap server. I do this even in my laptops. This way I can see the same messages with two or more mail clients (alpine and thunderbird). I can try beterbird, seamonkey... Even outlook!
Yes, but due to some remote IMAP server limitations I have to download messages to the local store. It's the local store I've been worried about.
Sure. That local store can be on imap. Same hard disk and computer as Th.
At least all this is my understanding, and I'm back to normal and can encrypt S/MIME traffic again.
In my case, I could not use S/MIME before, and now I can.
Smartcards?
Nope. Be sure to open a Bugzilla at openSUSE. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
