Iolo System Mechanic

You need to be careful when running programs such as : Iolo System Mechanic CCleaner These types of programs can remove sessions info, passwords etc from Thunderbird, so before running, you have to make sure that they never scan nor touch anything to do with Thunderbird program nor Thunderbird Profile folders. I would assume that there must be an exclusions option available or ask on their support forum. First try this: make sure you do not have a stored password. Tools > Options > Security > Passwords tab or 3bar menu > Options > Options > Security > Passwords tab click on 'saved Passwords' click on 'show Passwords' Do you see mailbox and smtp mail accounts and their passwords? or is it completely blank? If you see any mailbox or smtp passwords for the mail account: highlight both mailbox and smtp, click on 'Remove' click on 'Close' Click on OK to save changes to options. Then run GetMail. It should ask for password. Enter the password you use to access webmail account. select to remember the password and click on OK What happens? What is written in the bottom status bar...lookup...connecting...connected etc. Do you get an error message? If yes, please state exactly what it says word for word. please profide info if you still do not have access. re Tbird stopped working. (could not find profile) then you uninstalled TB and reinstalled a fresh TB, # Did the reinstallation locate the Profile or did it created a new default empty Profile with no mail accounts? # How many profile names do you have?
