Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0)
Build Identifier: 3.1.6

Thunderbird randomly goes offline. Sometimes I notice it after leaving the computer unused for a few hours.  Sometimes I can reply to an email and then right after attempt to reply to a second one, and "poof" my connection has been shut down.  However, I can still access the Internet so the problem is Thunderbird itself.  Very annoying and no fix that I can find on support groups.  I don't seem to have the little "plug" on my screen that some have mentioned.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just wait!  It's a random act of poor programming!
2.
3.



Never go offline

Wow, that seems ot have worked.  I would not have thought to update since the computer and software was only a month or so old.  My husband had already updated the drivers upon installation.  Thanks so much.  It was truly an annoying problem!

Well it only worked for about a week.  Now, it's worse than ever.  Do you have any more suggestions?  Thanks.
