Hi,

I get the above message when opening Thunderbird:

"mail server is not an imap4 mail server"

This error only came up today and was working before. I have done some checks with my host and IMAP is still up. I can also retrieve my mail on webmail.

I host my email on ZOHO.com if that helps.

Thanks Shaul
