One of my hotmail accounts on Thunderbird will no longer receive emails. I had an issue with duplicate emails which I solved but now none of the emails are being detected. I've tried deleting the password saved and re entering it. I've tried checking how the account is configured on Thunderbird but nothing's changed. Please help! Many thanks

  • Does Thunderbird work in TB Safe mode (see Thunderbird Safe Mode)?
  • Do you use anti-virus and firewall software? What is the version?

I don't have any antiviruses etc installed that I am aware of (I use a mac).

Thunderbird works in safe word but I still can't receive emails from that account, but the others are still working.
