Thunderdbird Profile in Linux .thunderbird directory existing home dir during upgrade of Centos 6 to Centos 7
I have recently upgraded from Centos 6 to Centos 7. Everything works on my Thunderbird. However, I cannot properly CAC/PKI sign and CAC/PKI encrypt my email.
When testing on the same Centos7 system using a different username, but same CAC card , and obviously the same email address "sending only", and same Thunderdird, then it works.
I am thinking there is something in my .thunderbird dir/profile that prevents me from sending a valid CAC signed email. The email sends, but on receipt it says "The digital signature on this message is invalid or Not Trusted" . The error under details says "The message contents may have been altered" . I have all the cert chains and intermediate trusted certs loaded.
Again, with the exact same Centos 7 system but a different username and setting up the same Thunderbird with the same email to test my CAC it works fine and my CAC signed email is Trusted and Valid.
Where should I look in my .thunderdbird profile that could have some old settings or corruption from the Centos 6 and the older Thunderbird version profile that I can clear out or check?
For a little more background, my home directory is the same from Centos6 to Centos 7, as it is a Netapps FAS mounted home directory volume. Hence, I believe there is something in my .thunderbird profile that is causing this issue. A brand new username works like I said above, but my real username with the older .thunderbird profile from my home directory under my production username does not.
I am running Thunderbird 91.4.0- 64bit
Any suggestions would be appreciated on what I can clear or edit in .thunderbird dir/profile. I would rather not delete the .thunderbird and then try importing all my old email dirs and try restoring that way.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance! Dhyan

When you open the message in your Sent folder, does it have a valid sig? Is this S/MIME or OpenPGP?
When it works with a different user account and a different Thunderbird profile, try to compare the encryption settings between the two profiles.
