My Earthlink email will not scroll. I have tried talking to Earthlink, but they say it is probably a browser problem. Here is my conversation with them, so that I don't have to re-type everything.

Hello there! Welcome to EarthLink, I'm Ether, your virtual assistant, how can I help you today? Tue 12:23 PM Existing Customer Tue 12:23 PM To help verify your account, I’ll need to send a one-time code to a phone number or email associated with your EarthLink account. Please enter your phone number or email address. Tue 12:23 PM I have gone through this 3 times with support, and every time, when you tell me to logoff and log back on, it also closes the chat, so I keep having to start over. Can I speak to an actual person? Tue 12:26 PM It looks like you didn't provide a phone number or email address. Without those we won't be able to verify your account. If you'd like to try entering a phone or email to search for your account, do so now. Otherwise, you can select skip verification.

My Earthlink email will not scroll. Every time you tell me to logoff and log back on, it closes the Chat function, and I have to start all over. May I speak to an actual person? Tue 12:29 PM I’m sorry you’ve had to repeat yourself—that’s definitely not ideal. I understand your EarthLink email won’t scroll, and logging off/on keeps ending the chat.

Let’s try to fix this without logging you out:

1) Are you unable to scroll in your inbox list, in an individual email, or both? 2) Does the scroll bar appear at all, or is it there but just not moving?

If you’d rather not troubleshoot further, I can connect you with a live agent. Just let me know if you want to continue here or go straight to an agent. A live agent will be connected shortly. As a reminder, please do not send any confidential information in this chat. Tue 12:29 PM Live agent Tue 12:30 PM Hi! Thanks for contacting EarthLink, you’re chatting with Thola.

Tue 12:34 PM Would you please read what I have already said to CHAT before you ask me to do anything? Is anybody there? Tue 12:46 PM I do apologize for this.

When I open my Earthlink email in Firefox there is a box at the top that says "Enhanced by Google" and the screen won't scroll. I talked to Earthlink support and they said it's a Firefox problem

I wanted to use the new VPN feature and the icon initially showed up in the top right, but it has disappeared and is not present in "customise toolbar" or privacy settings either.

Since the latest Firefox upgrade I get about 30 pop up ads from you scaring me about security. I have run a diagnostic and am confident I do not have any issues. I will soon leave you all together despite the hassle of chaging

I get scam messages that say "Trojan virus detected!" on Mozilla Firefox which I cannot delete. I have run antivirus scans which show there is no virus or malware. I have shut down the desk top. How can I go to reinstall Mozilla Firefox default settings or do you have another solution?

Logging in to Twitter/X is no longer possible as of a couple of days ago. After entering the username, pressing the "Next" button does nothing. Using the Desktop or Mobile version of the site makes no difference.

I tried working with Earthlink support, but cannot get my mouse to work correctly in their webmail. This problem just started a couple weeks ago, and today it will not scroll at all. I opened the webmail in Edge and got it to work. There is a glitch somewhere.

My microphone (stand alone) is not being detected by the website "Babel Audio" as I am attempting to connect on the website to test out my audio. My microphone does work for other programs on my computer and my taskbar does show that my microphone is connected correctly.

I have two Tbird accounts pmcreativeservices@rcn.com has been mine for 20 years, and it's what I use for bills, banking, etc. The other account is PatriciaRosemoor@rcn.com and is only used to collect messages that come from my author website. Yesterday, I got a message from someone who tried but couldn't put a book up at Amazon and asked if there was something I could do about it. My trying to send her a message via the PatriciaRosemoor account is what started requests for my Primary Password. One a minute after I cancelled the last one. I tried the two passwords I knew I had, but neither worked. I got a request for a new password so I did that and it didn't work either. I kept going back to it all day yesterday uselessly. I found directions of what to do online, but it didn't match up with my Settings information. Please, if you can tell me how to fix this, I would be grateful. Or, if I can keep the thousands of emails I probably have, I could try deleting the account and recreating the account. The problem would be how to bring all my saved emails back. Thank you for your help. Patricia

Thunderbird is not connecting with Xfinity Comcast for sending or receiving emails at gpenkala@comcast.net . This combination was working fine for decades. Last Friday (Jun 12) was the last email I received in Thunderbird. I can view current emails on the Xfinity website, but these are not being transferred to my Thunderbird account anymore, These are the error messages:

"Sending of the message failed.

Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.comcast.net. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'." "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: resomta-c2p-555483.sys.comcast.net resomta-c2p-555483.sys.comcast.net Excessive failed authentication, ESMTP server temporarily not available."

Can you tell me what configurations I should be using within Thunderbird for Incoming and Outgoing Servers?
