TB was working fine, but now I can no longer send email. I get a popup window with this:

Unable to connect

An error occurred during a connection to localhost.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Thunderbird is permitted to access the web.

The service (Comcast) is up & working. I've double-checked the password. I've tried disabling my firewall.

How do I figure out what is now causing the problem?
