I am having Thunderbird problems with downloading Verizon emails. This problem started Monday, July 12th.
I cannot send or receive Verizon emails on Thunderbird. I am using Thunderbird 78.12.0 (64 bit).
My Thunderbird account is set up for Incoming Verizon emails using Verizon POP Mail Server, pop.verizon.net, port 995.
My Thunderbird account is also set up for Outgoing email to Verizon Online SMTP Server, smtp.verizon.net, Port 465.
My Authentication Method is: Normal Password and my Connection Security is: SSL/TLS.
I get the following error message, from my provider Verizon/AOL: "Sending of password for user xxxxxxxxx@verizon.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.verizon.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later. "Login to server pop.verizon.net with username xxxxxxxx@verizon.net failed".
I have tried deleting my passwords in Thunderbird "Options" and then re-entering them with no luck.
I have never had this problem before in all the years I have been using Thunderbird. On July 12th, something changed (software update?) at Verizon/AOL or something changed at Thunderbird to cause this problem. I believe this is true since it is a global issue (affecting many users).
Note: I can go out to AOL's web site and login to my Verizon account and read/send all emails.
I would appreciate any help -- thank you.
