Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Bill Holder]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101012 Firefox/3.6.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101027 Thunderbird/3.1.6

After today's upgrade, when starting Thunderbird, I get the following in the default message window (no email selected), where the logo and info usually is: 

Unable to connect
         
The connection was refused when attempting to contact live.mozillamessaging.com.

    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
          moments.

    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.

    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
          that Thunderbird is permitted to access the Web.

Additionally, I can no longer connect to my mail server - on the lower right, I get a temporary popup saying "Thunderbird Could not connect to server (server name); the connection was refused." 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Thunderbird
2.Try to do anything, nothing works
3.
Actual Results:  
Can't connect to the web, live.mozillamessaging.com, or my mail server

Can't get my mail - including the one for my original Bugzilla registration.

Expected Results:  
I expect it to work - don't push automatic upgrades that kill the function.  Make sure it works before you inflict it on everyone.

It works. can you check that Thunderbird as the rights to connect to the internet on your firewall settings please.
