Can not send or receive emails, says server is timed out
Yesterday I became unable to send or receive emails. The error message says Thunderbird is unable to connect to my SMTP server. How do I fix this?

have you restarted your device?
Yes, multiple times.
Please check your Firewall which may be part of your Anti-Virus product.
Thunderbird must be an allowed program in the Firewall.
If it is already selected as allowed: Exit Thunderbird. then block/remove Thunderbird from list, save and exit Firewall. Then access Firewall again and set Thunderbird as an allowed program. It is possible, a new upgraded Thunderbird is not being recognised as the Thunderbird in the Firewall list. Then start thunderbird.
