Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Bob]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

I installed both the new Firefix and Thunderbird yesterday.  I have been using both for over a year.  Now I cannot send or recieve mail on Thunderbird, yet it appears that it was sent and it looks like the inboxes are bring checked.  Ran this by friends at MIT and they are having similar problems.  I have had to go back to Outlook Express (ugg)

Dial up connection, firewalled, high end Dell box xp professional.  All internet settings ok

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I compose mail and send it, cc myself to make sure
check the sent folder, looks like it was sent says mail sent sucessfully
2.Never arrives nor does the cc
Go to the internet and check my ATT account, nothing there either
3.Go to another machine or use Outlook Express, problem solved

Actual Results:  
Can't get mail either, looks like the identitiies are bring checked, says so.

Go to the internet and check my ATT account and mail from others is there.

This all happened yesterday during an installation of Firefox (update)

I dumped the specific contents of the registry related to Mozilla and reinstalled everything, no change.

Expected Results:  
I would like to use Thunderbird as my mail client as I have for a year.  Something has happened that blocks this and I can't figure it out (and neither can my friends at MIT)

sounds like something happening on the server, or potentially with a virus checker you have installed locally.
