Today is 01.16.2026 Hi Volunteers, thank you for the service you are providing Thunderbird users.

I didn't see a topic called Security, so I chose Settings.

For Thunderbird version 146, what specific version of LDAP is being used?

Regarding which LDAP version is the most up to date, I found this: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-ldap/ldap/v3@v3.4.12

My concern is about LDAP's security. I believe it is reasonable to think that the latest available version of LDAP would have the latest and most up to date security patches applied.

I would like to feel secure knowing I have the protection of the newest version of LDAP which affords the best security protection available for Thunderbird laptop version 146.

However I have been unsuccessful in determining if Thunderbird 146 is using this LDAP latest version. Could you help me learn if Thunderbird 146 is utilizing the latest version of LDAP that is available? Thanks in advance.

Yes I know I am a bit verbose.

TB doesn't have its own LDAP server. You choose a remote one - typically the one your email provider uses - at TB menu > Composition > Addressing and you can override that one at TB menu > Account Settings > Composition & Addressing > Addressing.

You can see how to configure the remote LDAP server at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Help_Documentation:Connecting_to_an_LDAP_address_book.

I don't know how to tell what version the remote LDAP server is.
