All of a sudden today I'm getting the message "could not connect to server mail.twc.com; the connection was refused." So, I'm unable to send/receive email. I called Spectrum and they said go to Spectrum.net. Yes, I was able to get my email that way, but that eliminates the ease of using Thunderbird. I've read all the messages about this issue, including changing various settings, but none have helped. Spectrum says nothing has changed on their end and it must be a Thunderbird issue. My current settings are: Incoming: Server Type: POP Mail Server Server Name: mail.twc.com Port: 110 User Name: [my email address] Connection security: None Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely

Any other suggestions?

I have a feeling the issue is with Spectrum and not supporting POP at all anymore. but please try telnet and report your results.

Matt, believe it or not, I woke up this morning and used Thunderbird to check my email, and new emails had come in! Now, I'll hold my breath to see if yesterday was a temporary problem, or if it is going to reoccur. AI is telling me Spectrum is no longer using POP, but as of this morning, it still is!
