Can I access my Comcast email server via Thunderbird via mozilla VPN?

I had to turn off Norton VPN to use Thunderbird as my email client for the Comcast email service. Is there any strategy to allow Thunderbird to work through a VPN? I use the POP protocol and keep all saved messages (hundreds) on my PC, not on the email server.

When Norton VPN does not allow the POP protocol, then there is nothing Thunderbird can do. You'd have to check with Norton. I'm wondering why you'd need a VPN to retrieve email in the first place.

crist1, Thank you for your clear reply! I did find that NortonVPN does allow per-App by-passes, and this works!
