On our Windows computer Thunderbird has always had an issue where it would pop up a message saying "Could not connect to mail server imap.comcast.net, the connection was refused". A few hours or days would go by and Thunderbird and Comcast would talk to each other again.
I finally had some time to try and debug this and (of course) I couldn't get the error to reproduce but instead I kept getting an imap timeout error. I captured the error message but it doesn't tell me why it's timing out or what to do about it.
P.S. Yes, I increased the timeout value from 100 to 300 and now it simply takes longer
Details:
Windows 10 Home 22H2
Thunderbird 128.3.1esr
