340317 - will not connect to send mail (as in #295949)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Ron Pugh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.5.0.4 (20060516)

Thunderbird has worked correctly through several builds but on downloading and installing the latest build it will no longer send mail. It still receives mail.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to send mail
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
on clicking "send" puts up error message... unable to connect to server etc 

and does not send mail (repeatedly)

Expected Results:  
mail should be sent

Once in a while it will send... sporadic

Composing a message and clicking send will bring up the error message each time.
Saving the message and closing Thunderbird... opening Firefox and actually going
to help and opening any file in random... then closing Firefox and re-opening
Thunderbird, bringing up the saved message and it will send!!!!! (just saving and then bringing up the message will not send it) going to any other url does not work.

I have not created a new profile! I have studied this and it is beyond me!

Closing Sygate and Norton does not make it send.

Sure you are just not having network problems, or your smtp server is having some problems? Try creating and smtp log and attach it to this bug.

Made a new profile.

On reseting to original default profile... it now works!

Have not used new profile since.

Thanks, Ron
