The POP e-mail system is a pretty simple system that allows an e-mail program (Thunderbird) to connect with a server, verifies a user’s account using a username and password, and then gives the e-mail system access to the user’s e-mail. Incoming e-mail messages are a separate issue because those systems work differently. Those tend to be intermittent and temporary. Most outgoing e-mail problems have been due to changes or problems with Cox and AT&T servers. While all indications are that something other than Thunderbird is causing the majority of the problems, we did identify one potential Thunderbird issue that could be causing some of the problems that people are experiencing.įrom our experience, most of the problems that we have found with either incoming or outgoing e-mail problems have been associated with ISP problems.
We have maintained all along that the problem is probably not Thunderbird, but is more likely to be a problem associated with an ISP, a personal firewall, a server firewall, a Windows update or any number of systems that Thunderbird interacts with while retrieving e-mail. We recently experienced an unusual issue with Mozilla Thunderbird incoming e-mail that could explain why some users are seeing intermittent problems with a failure to receive incoming messages.įor some time Mozilla Thunderbird users have been reporting strange problems with incoming e-mail that suddenly ceases to work.
