Windows 7
I am connected to the network but for some reason I cannot access the internet, nor connect my mail. This started this morning when I got the message that Thunderbird did an automatic upgrade....then nothing. I've tried just about everything since this morning, then I called Microsoft help. We established that I am connected to the network but I still can't browse. Tried with IE, Safari, and Chrome. My other computers work perfectly!!! What seems to be the problem?

I have been using tb and lightning on my Windows 7 laptop for quite some time and have no issues. Today I discovered that I could sync between my laptop and home computer by using a service (box.com) So I downloaded tb to my home pc, added lightning and have been getting email just fine as the account was copied from my laptop (the entire tb package was synced in box and downloaded onto the computer). Now I tried to send an email and it keeps saying : Login to server smtp.googlemail.com failed. I went to my settings and tried to add my personal gmail account and never could get it verified. So I went to my gmail settings and found that IMAP was disabled; I enabled it and went back to tb to try again. Same error on adding another account and it keeps suggesting my username or password could be wrong; they are not. I remember though that I had to enable less secure apps or something on the 1st gmail account in order to get it to work, so that fixed that issue. Since I cannot send mail from the gmail account I have always used on my laptop, I have no clue what is wrong other than if something didn't transfer correctly in my sync of tb into box. Please help. I am using Chrome browser on a Vista 64 bit system.

I am using IMAP and have input one password for several email accounts. At first I had a different password for each email account, but this seem to cause Thunderbird problems since it continued to ask for password for each account. I then went back to my internet provider (Host Monster) C-Panel and changed the seperate passwords to one password. For a while TB worked OK, but then began to request a password.. It did not seem to recognize the password. This problem caused my IP Address to be blocked at my internet provider (Host Monster). I hate to have to keep calling Host Monster then waiting to get someone to remove the block on my IP Address. What is the problem with Thunderbird or what am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated because i want to stay with TB because it does so many things. Plus, as a senior citizen who's eyesight is changing, I can change the size of the message fonts to a size i can read. I can also change the look of TB and I love that as well. Music Man Bob

So I deleted every Trash and Trash.msf file and the Trash folder remains. Can't create new Trash folder (using POP) because the 'steps' to fix problem fail to take into consideration Trash.mozmsgs and Trash.sbd folders aren't deleted or altered. So the fix using delete Trash and Trash.msf won't work. I opened Thunderbird and pulled up folder properties after clicking on any folder to see where the profile actually was as I'd deleted every Trash and Trash.msf file I could find. I found it located in a folder for a profile that was in another drive (it shouldn't have been there).
I deleted the Trash and Trash.msf files leaving Trash.mozmsgs and Trash.sbd and when restarting Thunderbird, the Trash Folder is right where it was before I deleted the files. So the "fix" doesn't fix the problem of extremely slow message deletion. Could somebody please address how to do this using POP that takes Trash.mozmsgs and Trash.sbd into consideration?? Then I will move on to find a fix for font changing size during draft/composition and TBird's failure to get new messages after changing to "Unified" just old see all of my old email (over 10k).
Thank you!

For some reason, all the emails in my Inbox were blank in both the preview pane and when I opened it.
I followed the advice, foolishly, on another support thread that said to Repair the Inbox folder.
I did, but unfortunately it wiped out all the emails in my Inbox.
When I log into my webmail, the emails are not there likely because it's POP email.
However, when I do a search on Thunderbird, I can find almost all the emails. There are no emails from after February 19th showing, and there are some emails in February that are blank as well. But before February all the emails can be found via searching.
My question is, if I can find the emails through searching, they must still be somewhere.
How can I restore them to my Inbox?
Thank you!
Server disconnects when trying to delete trash or junk

I am on a MacBookAir - Yosemite latest version, T-Bird latest version. I also have a MacMini desktop running snow leopard. When I go to delete trash or junk I get "Server at xx@bethterry.com has disconnected."
Both of these computers show the same error messages when I try to delete trash or spam. It's intermittent but has increased over time. It happens whether or not I have both computers logged in or just one computer logged in. A new problem has cropped up when I'm writing an email, it will stop me with a message that it can't save the message to drafts. When I hit the send button, it gives me a message that it can't save the message to the Sent folder. This started happening when I upgraded two upgrades ago in December.
Here are a few of the error console messages (which are Martian to me, so maybe you'll be able to translate!) I see Chrome referenced there a lot. I don't EVER use Chrome.
I have 9 user names on this account. Is that the problem? I also haven't figured out how to move old messages to my backup drive and delete them from the server, so there are three users with more than 1,000 messages hanging in there.
If either of the above are causing the problem, please let me know how to move the files. I understand how to do that with POP, but not IMAP.
thank you.

I purchased a new domain through GoDaddy and set up my email with that domain in Office 365. I then setup my email in Thunderbird. Today, I logged into Wix, where I have a site built, and went through the process of connecting the domain to their servers. Once I did that, I stopped receiving messages through this email, both in Thunderbird on my desktop as well as through OWA on my Android phone. Obviously something about moving the domain to Wix broke it. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? The email I'm transitioning from, tied to my old domain, is expiring shortly so I need to get this one back up and running.
