I've downloaded and installed version 78.4.3 of Thunderbird onto my new (to me!) laptop, and having configured it apparently correctly, the connection to the imap server times out after 100 seconds or so.
I've installed Windows 7 (at my own risk!), Firefox and Avast-free, and am using the configuration settings Thunderbird advise for tiscali users. I copied the latest TBird profile from my old laptop into the Profile folder. The User Name and Ports are the same as those on my old laptop, on which TBird works fine.
I've temporarily disabled email scanning in Avast.
I'm now at a complete standstill, going round in circles, with resultant frustration!
Any comments, suggestions etc, bearing in mind my limited computer expertise, gratefully received.
