after Thunderbird crash cannot receive or send emails
After the crash this morning (19/9/26) I cannot receive or send emails but can access existing emails (open them as well) I spoke to Telstra & they tested my bigpond.net.au account & advised all working So must be Thunderbird. In dealing with Telstra I changed my password. I have tried the old passwod & the new password but error message comes up log in to "Telstra account [redacted] @bigpond.net.au (POP3) failed" as I cannot receive emails can I be contacted via [redacted] or [redacted] @gmail.com Hoping this can be fixed Thanks Peter Carson Cleveland, Queensland

Lacking a backup, my personal approach would be this:
- backup the profile
- download from thunderbird.net and reinstall
- set the account up but without password
- Locate the POP account in old profile (would be in the mail folder). NOTE: if there is more than one profile in the profile folder, check dates on each to ensure you pick the active one)
- with thunderbird not running, copy POP folder to overwrite the POP folder in the profile
- restart and enter password.
