Login to server imap.mindspring.com with username **********@mindspring.com failed.
About 50% of the time when I treat to read my Mindspring (earthlink predecessor) email which is on the earthlink servers, I get the message, "Login to server imap.mindspring.com with username **********@mindspring.com failed." If I retry anywhere from 1-10 times, it logins in fine. If I login to earthlink/mindspring directly through their springmail reader, there is never an authentication issue.
This also never occurs when I login to my gmail account with thunderbird.
I am using tbird 78.6.1. Can anybody suggest a fix?

is your mindspring account in another device like a phone? Especially an apple device.
Yes, I check Mindspring and Gmail from my iphone, but as noted before, it only happens with Mindspring. Thoughts?

EarthLink along with ix.netcom.com customers can use the following IMAP settings:
- Incoming Mail Server: imap.earthlink.net
- Incoming Port Number: 143
- They suggest you use 'Connection Security' STARTTLS
- Outgoing Mail Server:smtpauth.earthlink.net
- Outgoing Port Number: 587
MindSpring Domain Customers can use the following IMAP settings: (Note: The EarthLink settings will work for MindSpring domain names as well.)
- Incoming Mail Server: imap.mindspring.com
- Incoming Port Number: 143
- They suggest you use 'Connection Security' STARTTLS
- Outgoing Mail Server:smtpauth.earthlink.net
- Outgoing Port Number: 587
TEST: If you make sure you have logged off / closed connection/switch off phone - when accessing by phone, does Thunderbird connect ok? Is Thunderbird failing when a connection between MailSpring and phone is still working?
Thinking out aloud here: Wondering if mailspring offers few connections eg: courier.
