I presume it just says connecting or similar in Status bar and does nothing.

If you updated to use version 78 then it might be caused by a TLS issue. Thunderbird updated settings to use the up to date TLsv1.2, so if server is using an old TLSv1.0 or TLSv1.1 then connection will fail.

So try this:

  • In Menu app icon > Options > General
  • Scroll forever to the bottom and click on 'Config Editor'
  • accept the risk
  • In search type: tls.version
  • look for this line : security.tls.version.min
  • Double click on line to open an edit window and enter the number 1
  • click on OK.
  • Exit window - top right x

This will set that preference back to the same level as used automatically in version 68*.

  • Restart Thunderbird.
