please try to reproduce this bug with a new version of thunderbird and a fresh
profile. having three or more pop3 accounts shouldn't be a problem usually.

I am having a similar problem, where no settings have changed and Thunderbird
has stopped downloading messages.  Additionally it will not connect to any SMTP
server that I have access to.
I have 4 accounts, 3 POP access and 1 IMAP, the IMAP account will read messages,
but not send, the POP accounts will not download new messages.

Reproduceable:
Always since it started (3 days or so ago)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open program
2. Check Mail
3. Stare at busy icon

or for the SMTP problem
1. write / reply to email
2. send mail
3. watch "connecting to SMTP.XXX.XXX" for hours on end

windows version 1.0 (20041206) i think this is the current build.

Broadus: your problem is apparently an authentication problem.

@ everybody reporting this problem: have you made sure that all settings are correct, as dictated by your ISP or other POP provider? If no one responds that this problem still exists within 3 weeks, I will resolve as INCO.

By the way, for future reference, such networking problems belong in Core -> Networking: POP.
