Well, sorry for bothering. I just found some well-hidden "configuration
editor", which contains an option to, at least globally, turn using
certificate to login off.

It is the

  mail.server.default.auth_login

option, which is by default set to true, which is generally good, but
not fine when you can only use password auth.

Anyways, hope this gets indexed by Google -> public knowledge.

Greets, Ernst Rohlicek

I have the same problem.
Setting mail.server.default.auth_login to false does NOT solve it.

On http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mail_and_news_settings#Mail..2A there is a
listing of the options and their descriptions. There is no description
for mail.server.default.auth_login, but there is one for
mail.auth_login, which may or may not have the same meaning:

mail.auth_login
Boolean

True (default): Enable SASL.
False: Disable SASL. Sometimes when your email provider uses load-balancing and not every mail server supports SASL you need to set both this setting and mail . server . default . auth_login false. You could also use it to disable SMTP AUTH. [3]

On http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=652927 they suggest
'Try changing entry "security.default_personal_cert" Time from "Ask
Every Time" to "Select Automatically" in about:config'.

Some users report that this solves their problem.

This gives me error -12195. I guess in my case TB tries to use one of my
certificates in the automatic selection
