    Today Thunderbird stopped working and is unable to access mail across all email mailboxes.
    it appears to be a certificate problem.
    I installed email according to https://forum.howtoforge.com/thread...d-lets-encrypt-ssl-certificate-certbot.86372/ and it has worked perfectly for some time
    As a test I deleted and re-installed one email mailbox in Thunderbird. During the re-install Thunderbird reported the certificate was wrong and that the certificate was only for the mail server itself and not for the domain of the mailbox.
    The time since I first installed email using https://forum.howtoforge.com/thread...d-lets-encrypt-ssl-certificate-certbot.86372/ is about right for certificates to be renewing.
    In the meantime, so mail can be accessed I've agreed for Thunderbird to accept the server certificate.
    I welcome advice to resolve the issue.
    Best regards,
    Terence

    Ok. Appears to be resolved. I had mail.XXXX.com in
    /etc/systemd/system/le-mailserver-restart.path
    and it now seems to work ok after I replaced 'mail' with the hostname.
    That is, changed to hostname.XXXX.com in /etc/systemd/system/le-mailserver-restart.path
