Since yesterday my Thunderbird client can't connect to my mail server but two other clients I tried have no problem to retrieve email.
In my mail log file I have these lines:
Nov 26 13:24:46 LinuxWebServer dovecot: imap-login: Error: SSL: Stacked error: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42

I have checked the validity of my certificate and it's still valid up to 2027.
With Sylpheed mail client I get the following dialog:
The SSL certificate of mail.somedomain.com cannot be verified by the following reason:
unable to get local issuer certificate

I understands there is a clue about the issue in this warning but I just don't really understand what it technically mean
