Having a problem with an ATT POP account. TB stopped getting mail. After a minute and a half or so (wish it would time-out faster), I get a pop-up box in the top right of the screen that states: "Connection to server inbound.att.net timed out" and then quickly goes away.

Deleted passwords and cannot see where to create them again, as it never prompts me for new ones.

Thanks.

I don't have any problem sending messages on my PC at home just on my laptop. I have windows 11 on both.

I get a message...

connection to outgoing server (SMTP) timed out.

another time I got the message

'sending failed. error while sending mail. outgoing server (SMTP) error. server responded impout 006.msg.chrl.charter.net cmsmtp 50.201.174.29 blocked please see... https//spectrum.net/support/internet/ understanding-email-error-codes for more information AUP#Out - 1130

I looked up 1130 in spectrum’s website but I couldn't figure out what it was saying. I also called spectrum to see if they could help but they couldn't help and just referred me back to you guys.

my outgoing connection is

description - charter communications server name - mobile.charter.net Port - 587 Security - normal password user name - robinclaire1@charter.net (or any of my other email addresses)

I have 5 email addresses. and I can't send from any of them. jesusfollower1@charter.net robinclaire1@charter.net climbthewell@charter.net robinc12step@charter.net jerryg0583@charter.net

please help. thank you robin

ps - I had a terrible time with thunderbird trying to load a profile from another computer. This failed utterly and I had to have someone help me to reload thunderbird on this laptop. I've never had luck with sending ever since it was reloaded. to reload, I had to search for 'thunderbird' on my computer over and over again until there was no 'thunderrbirds' to delete - that included several thunderbird downloads as well. I wiped my laptop clean of all thunderbirds and then it could finally be downloaded. But I didn't think to try to send a message when I tech guy was there so I didn’t catch that I couldn’t send them.

thanks again.

I had a proxy set manually before and it was working just well, after I updated firefox it stopped asking for username password for my proxy and I keep getting no network error on every website I check. I also reentered the proxy data again and checked somethings in the about:config page to be true but still doesn't work.

Hello,

My father has a random issue with one of his email accounts. Context: Windows 11, TB 146.0.1. In TB, 5 mail accounts are configured, all IMAP, on 4 different providers.

All accounts work perfectly except the first one, which is also the default account. This account and the second account are both on my father's Internet provider. The configurations of both accounts seem identical (I checked more than once), except obviously for the name and password. On the first account (which is unfortunately the one my father uses most), connexion is often refused, and TB then asks to retry or enter a new password. Retry and reentering the password fail to solve the issue. When the connection to the first account fails, the second account (for the same provider) always works. Some time later (usually at least several days later), the first account will work again, without any obvious reason.

I tried exiting TB as well as clearing the cache, rebooting the computer, scanning for viruses, with no result.

I'd rather avoid re-creating the account in TB as this would change the order of the accounts, and my father (94 years old) might have difficulties to adapt to the change, but is someone can tell me how to recreate the account without changing the order, I am ready to try it.

I have a log of what happens when using only the "bad" account, and one for the good account from the same provider, but I don't know how to share them here. While creating the logs, I checked that if I set the second account as default (the first account having the issue before as well as after this), it still manages to connect. But of course, maybe the second account would have also had a connection issue later...

Does someone have any explanation, or ideas about how to solve this issue?

I have been using Thunderbird to download my mail from Yahoo for a long time without incident. Now I keep getting the message "Edge: Too Many Requests" as a response when trying to download my email messages (see attached file). I waited 24 hours and then tried again but still get the same message. I am able to log on to Yahoo on my desktop and see my mail without a problem. Is there something that needs to be cleared or reset in Thunderbird? My other email accounts in Thunderbird work fine. Any ideas would be helpful.

bold text When I try to go to my "FIREFOX" it answers me in French of course but here you don't accept to write me in French and so it's very difficult for me ... (could you help me for this of course ???) : "hmm this adress doesn' seem to be valid." Hum, cette adresse ne semble pas valide.

What must I do please ??? [edited from public] @orange.fr

The connection has timed out

The server at eofficepwd.kerala.gov.in is taking too long to respond.

   * itemThe site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Why did retrieving messages suddenly stop. It was working yesterday and I made no changes to anything. I can send successfully. I am using Shaw/Rogers Pop server.

Why does "test connection to server" fail?

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at healthy.kaiserpermanente.orghttps.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

What does this mean and how do we fix it?

Hello! I have a question regarding Thunderbird version 144.0.1.

The server is configured locally and isolated from the Internet. There is an issue: when the network cable is unplugged (no network connection), saving received emails with attachments (for example, total file size of 14 MB) to the hard drive happens quickly — about 5 seconds. However, as soon as the PC is connected to the local network, the saving process for such attachments slows down significantly — up to 60 seconds.

I would appreciate your help with analyzing this issue and possible solutions. What could be the cause of this behavior?

Thank you!

I am using Thunderbird with an IMAP account. My quota for my inbox, as indicated in the lower right, is 98%. If I log in to my provider's webmail the quota stated is 2%. How do I fix this mismatch?

I have relatively few emails in my Inbox, Sent, Trash, Draft etc folders. Deleted folder has been emptied. Folders have been compacted a number of times. Thunderbird has been closed and reopened. I have checked with my provider, names.co.uk, and they confirm that my current usage is 2%. They pin the blame on Thunderbird.

I have searched online and whilst this does appear to be a fairly common problem, I have not found a solution.

I have tried moving all but the few latest emails to Local Folder, going through the usual deletion, empty deleted, compact folders, restart etc. and can only lower the percentage a small amount in Thunderbird, and it soon rises again to 98%. And it's very inconvenient not to have recent emails still in my Inbox.

Can anybody help with a solution, please?

Yesterday, my ameritech.net email stopped working in Thunderbird. I get an error saying it's unable to log into the server. The email account works from outlook, and from a web browser, so I know I'm using the right password. I've tried it on more than one computer and it's only Thunderbird that is having the problem. It's working with my gmail account. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently lost my connection to my ISP and have re-established my connection, but Thunderbird can receive mail but cannot send it. I can send from the ISP mailbox. For some reason Thunderbird will not connect to my ISP’s outgoing mail server. Any ideas will be appreciated.
