Thunderbird account setup wizard fails with "Programming bug. Assertion failed, see log." when using Manual config

  1. start Tails 2.10
  2. set up persistence, enable Icedove feature
  3. reboot, unlock persistence
  4. start Thunderbird
  5. pick some xxx@boum.org email address and password
  6. it guesses POP3
  7. I click “Manual config” to inspect what settings were guessed
  8. I click re-test (as the “done” button is grayed out / disabled)
  9. I click “Done”
  10. a dialog opens that says “Programming bug. Assertion failed, see log.”

I don’t remember if I clicked “manual config” or if it was opened already, nor whether there were radio buttons to select IMAP instead of POP. Will retry.
