I received this message: Unable to connect

The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost. 

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Thunderbird is permitted to access the web.

I am not receiving new email. What do I need to do to get it working again?

There appears to be an error in your setup. Possibly, if you post screenshots of your incoming server settings pane and the SMTP server settings pane, some suggestions will come forth. Localhost is not a server.

Same thing started happening to me a few days ago. It worked when I checked before going to bed, but not in the morning when I got up. Connection is refused by something somewhere, and the program is what is trying to connect to 'localhost', not me. The automatic set up has been altered somehow.
