Weird Thunderbird problem

Blackened · 12-09-2010, 14:44

Hi all,

For the last couple of days I've been getting this error pop-up box in Thunderbird when it polls my main NTL account (I have 3 configured in Thunderbird).

I have been into webmail of all three accounts and deleted everything there but the error box remains. None of the messages there were new, I had received them all previously in the client.
After I OK out of the box, the account appears to poll correctly and finish it's task. The next poll throws up the error again.
Any clues?

TIA

:edit: sorry - HERE shows it's polling a VM box.

Had this a couple of time this morning. It's VM cocking up their authentication AGAIN!

Ongoing.

Seems other people using VM's mail servers are also having problems with Thunderbird:

Worth mentioning I'm deliberately using an older version of Tbird - 2.0.0.21 - and not having problems with something that a newer version may have.

I am using version of Tbird - 2.0.0.24 and have been getting this since yesterday as well but still receiving emails via a blueyonder account ok.

Yay, they broke email again. I can just about get my mails on my laptop, but it is broken on my iPhone when it worked fine before. I am getting really fed up with this ongoing error.

Version 2.0.0.24 here. Problem is very intermittent. The mail still seems to eventually get through. Not as bad as the first time, just annoying.

The mail does get through after cancelling out the error box yes, but annoying to have to click a box every x minutes to get shut of it so the other boxes can poll! I feel like Desmond in "Lost".
I have my work email address (.co.uk domain) set up in Tbird also and until this box is cancelled out, Tbird doesn't poll the other boxes.
Very frustrating - I will need to switch off the NTL addresses until this is fixed as I'm missing my work email. I rely on the 'ping' noise when away from the desk.

Edit: 11:37 - problems appears to be resolved. Fingers crossed.

No problems here .. using TBird 3.1.3

It is fixed now, per a couple of hours ago.
