Why does TB not connect properly to my server much of the time?

Thunderbird Connectivity

I run an old imac with ventura 13.7.4, mostly i use my email prog from my server, but i can't get links etc. When i switch to Thunderbird, much of the time thunderbird just sits there, saying it's connecting, but it's not. i will dump it soon and try something else, i think. Sometimes it works.

I think i am running TB 159.0. I haven't the faintest idea how to access the TB app menu, but this is what it says on my app menu.

I can't upgrade my OS, it's a miracle this thing works at all any more. Yay for old geeks!

Just to offer an observation: connecting to the server is dependent on the server being available. That is, the problem may not be Thunderbird, the unavailability of the server.
