I have had Thunderbird for 10 to 15 years. I switched from outlook. Now microsoft is terrorizing me. My mail account setup has been changed to outlook, and I have tried many times to put Thunderbird back in, but I can neither receive nor send mails. it's disastrous!
I have not received any reply

Am I writing to a robot? every time I write, you write: Did this reply solve your problem? but I have not received a single answer. It is actually a serious problem that I cannot send or receive emails.

It might be a serious problem to you, but as you keep replying to yourself with more and more nonrelevant information your topic is not even listed by the system as in need of a reply and certainly not as a new issue. Think about that for a moment.
Now you apparently have an issue with getting mail. As this is a peer support forum we know exactly what you tell us. The better the information you supply, the better the response you will get. Having said that we are volunteers, we don't get paid for our time and impatiently replying to yourself as you have done is counter productive. I days pass a comment may be warranted in case the topic has been missed or a reply forgotten, but if you need support in minutes, you need to hire a professional in your community.
