I have a Suddenlink.net email account that I can't seem to install. Suddenlink has been purchased by Optimum. I have all the requirements that Optimum has given, but it still won't load. my email address is dluenser@suddenlink.net. My password is correct because I can go to their site and get my emails. These are the requirements that they gave me. Again, it is a suddenlink account. Can you help? I've tried numerous times to work with Optimum techs, but they are not knowledgeable to what I should do.

Server Settings by Domain Use the following server settings to set up most third-party email clients or applications to send or receive Optimum email. IMAP (Inbound) Optimum incoming mail server: mail.optimum.net Suddenlink incoming mail server: imap.suddenlink.net Incoming mail port (SSL): 993 (Secure Connection. Recommended if your mail client supports) POP (Inbound) Optimum incoming mail server: mail.optimum.net Suddenlink incoming mail server: pop.suddenlink.net Incoming mail port (SSL): 995 (Secure Connection. Recommended if your mail client supports)

SMTP (Outbound) Optimum outgoing mail server: mail.optimum.net Suddenlink outgoing mail server: smtp.suddenlink.net Outgoing mail port (SSL): 465 (Secure Connection. Recommended if your mail client supports) • Check My SMTP server requires authentication Username and Password (if needed) User Name: Your full email address, including the @domain.net at the end (i.e. @optimum.net, @suddenlink.net) Password: The password for your particular email address • Outgoing server verification/authentication must be enabled and on. If your email client has the option or checkbox that says My outgoing server requires authentication this will need to be checked along with use same settings as my incoming mail server.

All my emails stopped receiving new emails yesterday when I had to go change my password on Google. Google has my on hold for 2 days for verification.

However, I have other non-Google emails that are not updating.

I also tried to create/add a new email account: EarthAlert1@outlook.com, and is stuck "Looking up configuration"

Hello, I apologise if this subject has already been discussed somewhere but I haven't been able to find anything that specifically answers my question.

I run Thunderbird on two desktop systems running Windows 7 Professional and a laptop running Windows 10 Home. The desktop systems are running Thunderbird 115.5.1 (32-bit) and the laptop 139.0.2 (64-bit).

I use a file synchronisation program to keep my data on all three systems in sync, which also acts as a backup. I also use it to back up my main desktop system to a portable hard drive.

I should like to know if it is possible to include Thunderbird data in the synchronisation process, specifically mail messages in various folders (e.g. Sent, Read - including subfolders, Deleted etc.), Address books and Calendar data. I have successfully transferred the message files and their .msf companions. The sync software detects and updates changed files and this seems to work smoothly but I haven't been able to do this with Calendar data or Address Books. As far as I can see this can only be done by exporting the data to iCalendar or csv files then importing to the other systems which is obviously not convenient for something that I am doing on a frequent, regular, basis.

A final problem I have encountered relates to message filters. I have not been able to find any way to copy these to the other systems. Copying msgFilterRules.dat doesn't work and I can't find any way to export the filter data.

I should be most grateful for any assistance you can offer.

Regards, M. J. Thompson.
