Messages won't send automatically; I have to manually "Send Unsent Messages" from Outbox

Hi --

I have two gmail accounts. I've confirmed and re-confirmed all the SMTP settings. The weird part is that if O compose and send a message (command+return), messages just end up sitting in the outbox. I think that's what error #3 below is from. But if I then right click on Outbox and "Send Unsent Messages", they go out fine. Why would that be? They're both using the exact same SMTP settings?

I see the following three errors in the error console:

1. TypeError: nameField is null | LoginManagerPrompter.sys.mjs:67:23

2. NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIAutoCompleteInput.popup] | LoginManagerChild.sys.mjs:149

3. mailnews.smtp: NetworkTimeoutError: a Network error occurred | SmtpClient.jsm:442:17

This problem started happening early this week or late last week. I've tried both Troubleshoot Mode as well as a clean install.

Thunderbird 115.5.1 MacOS Ventura 13.5.1

Thanks in advance, tarek

I restarted Thunderbird this morning and now everything is working fine. I had done that several times before. Bizarre.

Ctrl+Enter / Command/ Enter are the commands to send now. That the messages are not going when you use it would indicate that Thunderbird is in an offline state.

File Menu > offline and check that work offline is not ticked.

Thanks, but I've confirmed Work Offline is not checked. I toggled it on and then back off to double check. The problem persists. Per my original post, sending mail works absolutely fine if I manually "Send Unsent Messages", but not when I send during composition (command + return or by clicking on send button).

Are you using the OWL addon perhaps?

Unfortunately, no. For the record, I don't have any add-ons installed.

Again, these are the errors I'm seeing in the console: TypeError: nameField is null LoginManagerPrompter.sys.mjs:67:23 NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIAutoCompleteInput.popup] LoginManagerChild.sys.mjs:149 mailnews.smtp: NetworkTimeoutError: a Network error occurred SmtpClient.jsm:442:17

Maybe it's something about the LoginManagerPrompter? Is there a way to reset my account passwords / keychain connection?
