Using thunderbird with ATT. Worked Sunday, Thunderbird did an update, now it doesn't work?
I've been using Thunderbird about a year. Sunday evening (4/5/15), Thunderbird told me it had an update. I said "ok". After that, it wouldn't access AT&T for my emails. My server settings are correct. When I bring up Thunderbird, I see this:
Unable to connect
The connection was refused when attempting to contact inbound.att.net.
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.
All of those things are fine. The only thing that changed is Thunderbird. Please help.

Did you check your firewall to see if Thunderbird is set to Allowed. It is not uncommon for firewalls to block updates as if they are new software.
