Thunderbird has been working fine - until yesterday when no new emails were received - the last one was dated 12/16. Today started Thunderbird and nothing newer was added (except the same email dated 12/16). When I click Get Messages - I get another copy of the 12/16 message. I can see newer messages via my server (comcast.net). I am running another account on another computer with TB program without problem. HELP!

That did it! Many thanks to Matt!

My emails were downloading and sending happily yesterday, but nothing today. My anti-virus allows emails from Thunderbird (I just checked) but they are not arriving. Thoughts, anyone?
