The issue has been "An error occurred connecting to mail.mediacombb.net:993." on the server page, where you can "test connection to server" in Account > Server Settings > Security Settings. I get the same error message for each four different accounts. I have no problems with the other two different accounts not associated with Mediacom (MC). I contacted MC and they said my settings were correct and to contact TB. I have read several posts with no real solutions except that was resolved through an update. I plan to switch to a different Linux distro later. I am currently using Big Linux Manjaro with the latest update. Note that I had no problems with TB until last month. I do not do the uninstall/reinstall apps unless it will resolve my issues as a last resort. Second, sometimes I receive MC e-mails and did not run the "test connection to server," then until today while troubleshooting for several hours. I was trying to send out an e-mail, which I had no problems last week. I already went to Account > Server Settings > Advanced and changed the "Maximum number of server connections to cache" from 5 down to 1 with no luck.
The e-mail server settings are:
imap.mediacombb.net 993 SSL/TLS Normal Password and smtp.mediacombb.net 587 STARTTLS Normal Password They have not been changed since I switched from windows 10 to Zorin 18 to currently Big Linux Manjaro. I attempted to locate a method to check if the server settings were correct via Terminal. M$ Outlook has a test page that you can send to yourself or another e-mail account. Last, MC tech informed me that M$ Outlook is more friendly than TB. I know that I have used M$ Outlook for years and rarely had any connection issues unlike TB. Unlike Evolution, which was my first after M$ Outlook, TB is much better and easier than Evolution. Thank you in advance for your time and advice.
