I recently spent alot of time w/Century Link tech support & as part of an almost pointless discussion, changed the password to my q.com address. TB on my desktop seems able to retrieve messages using the new password, but the TB on my laptop cannot. I've repeatedly re-entered the password, told Password Manager to save it. ONCE during this process when I did NOT click on save password w/password manager, I was able to download some email messages to my laptop.

Yes, I hate the century-link.net site so I don't want to have to go there to send or receive email sent to that address. I have to use Microsoft's Edge browser to get to centurylink.net (it's that or Chrome, which I don't like) and I don't like The Edge, it's got tons of ads & other junk.

All I could think of to change (to email settings) at the webmail site was that emails could be sent in html, the alternative was Ajax. Still doesn't explain why yesterday, I didn't have any difficulty downloading emails from c-l on my desktop after updating the password.

Wanted to add, no problems downloading messages from google mail. It's just q.com or century-link.net email

What version of Thunderbird are you using on 'Desktop' and on 'Laptop' ?

What type of mail account (POP or IMAP) have you created on 'Desktop' and also on 'Laptop' for the problem account?

What Anti-Virus do you have installed and using on Desktop and also on Laptop?

When you attempt to 'Get Messages' for the problem account on Laptop, what happens? What do you see in the bottom status bar ? Connecting to server etc? Do you get an error message, if yes what does it say, word for word? You can post an image of this if it helps to exaplin what you are seeing.

Please post the following Information for both the 'Desktop' and the 'Laptop'. In Thunderbird Help > Troubleshooting Information 'Mail and 'News Accounts' section Copy and paste all the information into this forum question.

Pleae make it very clear which info relates to 'Desktop' and 'Laptop'.

When I enter the trouble shooting information for the desktop, I get a message from support moz://a that the "value" has exceeded 10,000 characters. I can try to break it up but it'll take awhile--or you could tell me what information is essential and what isn't and perhaps I can get it all the trouble shooting information you need for each machine into one reply form.

  I'm using the same version of TB on both laptop & desktop: 78.9.0.    Both desktop & laptop use POP for the q.com address and imap for the gmail address.   

I use Gdata Internet Security on both. Gdata Internet Security is set to update automatically, unless there's a program update. I download and install all program updates promptly so as far as I know laptop & desktop have identical security software and using the same settings.

Laptop: I've already said what happens, TB is set to check email automatically, it checks the q.com address first, it indicates that it tried the password/access denied & the password box appears w/as I'm sure you know, 3 choices. I either click for it to retry the password already entered or try entering the password again. Either way, I'm again told that access was denied. If something appears in the status bar I haven't noticed it.

Desktop: there's no problem. Using the same password that's rejected when I use the laptop, it gets access to the q.com account & downloads emails. I have noticed the spam filter for the q.com webmail, which I set to high a few years ago, isn't filtering spam anymore, but TB is catching almost all of the spam, filtering it into q.com junk folder. I got an email today from Century Link (webmail for q.com) that the email structure or system's been updated. So far TB on my desktop remains able to access & download email from the q.com address, despite the update. I haven't yet gone to centurylink.net to see the changes C-L made to my q.com email account.

I had to use Microsoft's Edge or Chrome (yes, I know that's Google's browser) to access Century Link's webmail site or www.centurylink.net, or I did before the upgrade. I couldn't access the q.com email account via the centurylink.net website using Firefox (I tried)--tech support told me I had to use Edge or Chrome. I don't like either browser but used Edge to access the q.com account long enough to change the password, since it comes w/Win 10 anyway. That was probably a mistake, but I did it on the advice of C-L's tech support.

Prior to my changing the password, both laptop & desktop could access & download emails for the q.com email address.

As you changed password and can access on desktop and via webmail, I'm assuming the new password is working perfectly ok.

On laptop, I'm assuming you have identical settings to desktop, but please double check. Incoming server for pop: mail.q.com Port: 110 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication: Normal password Outgoing Server: smtp.q.com Port: 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication: Normal password

Make sure you do not have any clean up file products that can scan any Thunderbird folder. eg: CCleaner or even some Anti-virus products have same capabilities. The appdata/roaming/thunderbird folder must be excempt from scanning.

To ensure no AV etc interferes with anything, restart laptop in 'Safe Mode with Networking' mode then start up Thunderbird.

On laptop, check and reset the Username and Password data.

  • Menu app icon > Options > Privacy & Security
  • Under 'Password' section
  • Click on 'Saved Passwords'
  • click on 'Show Passwords'

There will be two entries for the pop account, a mailbox:// and an smtp:// Check there are only the two entries. check the Username and the password entries. Username is usually the full email address. If Username is not correct for 'mailbox:// and /or smtp:// lines, then:

  • Right click on mailbox:// line and select 'Edit Username'
  • completely remove the entry and then type the full email address.
  • Right click on smtp line and select 'Edit Username'
  • completely remove the entry and then type the full email address.

Now completely remove and retype the new password.

  • Right click on mailbox:// line and select 'Edit Password'
  • completely remove the entry and then type the new password.
  • Right click on smtp line and select 'Edit Password'
  • completely remove the entry and then type the new password.
  • click on 'Close'

Exit Thunderbird.

Wait for background processes to complete and then restart Thunderbird.
