It was working fine on the new computer until yesterday. Now I get a pop-up box that says: ' Unable to connect The connection was refused when attempting to contact 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 Thunderbird is permitted to access the web.

I am getting the error "connection timed out to connect to SMTP server". I am running on Linux Mint. The same setting do work on MacOS so there is no wrong config or broken SMTP server. It was working well since a couple of years. I also tried troubleshooting mode but still the same.

I've successfully connected to a hosted Exchange server through EWS and NTLM authentication (kudos BTW). But there is a problem - often during operations against EWS I'm presented with "Login to account XXX failed" "Login to server YYY with account XXX failed". I can ignore it (cancel) and it will work for seconds or minutes but eventually reappear. Sometimes it's very frequent, sometimes is here and there. TL;DR; connection works, I can read directories and e-mails.

From looking at development tools I see these scenarios: 1. POST requests return 200 always (no messsage of course) 2. Eventually a POST would return 401. Then Thunderbird issues a GET, it returns 401 as well but response includes header WWW-Authenticate: NTLM XXXXXX. Then another GET is issued containing header "Authorization" with the value from previous response. This time it gets 200 and continues without POST requests without a dialog. 3. Sometimes there are more POST requests with 401 (I assume in parallel) before a GET is issued and then I see a dialog. Sometimes it recovers (regardless of whether I cancel or retry), sometimes gets stuck with 401 with dialog reappearing each time it tries something. This case it's similar in sense that thunderbird issues GET with 401 and WWW-Authenticate header, issues another GET with Authenticate header but still gets 401.

If I had to guess I'd say the problem happens when POST requests are issued in parallel, not sequentially. OTOH it might be a problem at the server, but it isn't very likely.

For the last year or so, and not consistently, Thunderbird will not bring in new imap messages across multiple accounts. Sometimes closing and reopening will make new messages appear. If I close Thunderbird from task manager and reopen it always brings in new messages. When it does start working it will keep working for 1-3 days. Restarting my computer seems to make it work for longer. Running Win 11 Pro, but have the same issue on a Win 10 Pro computer, different antivirus on each computer. Seems to be the same issue as this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/1gxduxt/thunderbird_not_showing_new_messages_unless_i/

Hello community,

at my place of work no one can send or receive mail anmore using Thunderbird. The problem suddenly appeared last monday. No changes regarding the network or settings in Thunderbird happened prior to this.

Here's what I tried so far and things I can rule out:

  • same problem appears on all devices (desktop and laptop PCs) in our office
  • our work mail server is online and working, I can access everything using the webmail-interface in the office network
  • new installation of Thunderbird without any profiles and fresh account confguration doesn't solve the problem
  • I can connect to our mail provider and send and receive mail when using my home network or my personal phone hotspot
  • I can connect to my private mail provider using Thunderbird while in the office network
  • troubleshooting mode doesn't solve the issue
  • renewing the internet connection on our router temporarily/once allowed some devices to receive mail
  • pinging the mail server (mailserver.[workdomain].de, no specific port) via command line was successful while Thunderbird was unable to connect to the mail accounts

IMAP-Log returns the following error codes:

  • D/IMAP URL failed with code 0x804b000e
  • D/IMAP URL failed with code 0x804b001e

I would be glad if somebody could help me out. If you need any more details I'll provide them. Thanks in advance!

VPN blocking all access to Internet starting on evening of 7/11/2026

Today (7/11/26) Mozilla VPN began blocking all access to the Internet. When I turn it off, I can connect. When I turn it on, I can't. Am I the only one? So far I have:

  • Reset the app
  • Uninstalled all WAN network adapters and restarted (I notice for the first time that Mozilla Tunnel appears in the list after doing this)

It is interesting to note that Proton free VPN which I installed as an experiment, and ran with Mozilla VPN entirely off (system tray quit as well) also blocks all Internet traffic. So it could be one of those Windows update issues. This afternoon, all was well. I turned off my machine, turned it back on, and no browsing can happen with either VPN on.

Normally, Mozilla VPN works flawlessly, so I have no complaints--it's only a technical mystery to unravel.

Best regards, C. Crowley
