Can't receive any emails from BT server on new laptop since 31st of August.
I have recently bought a new laptop and had to transfer all my apps to it including Thunderbird. At first it managed to retrieve the messages from my BT internet server. But it has stopped working ( the last time I could get messages was on the 31st of August) I don't understand why. I can send messages, but can't receive them. I can still get them on my old machine which I am keeping until everything is properly up and running. I checked the settings and as far as I can see they haven't changed. When I try to get messages it's just stuck in contacting server mode. After a long time it gives up and gives me the message : Login to btinternet server failed with username xx- retry - enter new password - cancel. When I press enter new password - the message vanishes and I can't actually enter a password. There used to be a way to check passwords entered in Thunderbird. The other issue I have is that I can't enter my signature for emails in the composition area as it says I already have an email account with same name. Does this mean I have to basically delete my old one on my old computer? I hope you can help. The first issue started after the 31st of August.
