I can no longer receive email, it worked fine up until yesterday, now a little blue circle keeps turning in the upper right hand corner like it is looking for my email, but I don't get them. I have checked everything your help section says to look at. I even did the one said says check your password, I picked the one in question and did what you said I removed it, closed Thunderbird and reopened and nothing it did not ask for my password like you said it would.

HELP? Becky Meyer

I just tried the suggestion about deleting the saved passwords in Thunderbird, but that did not work for me.

I have tried the suggested solution about resetting the setting in ESET and that worked.

my problem was solved, but I have one more question, I have 2 computers and 1 laptop all with Windows 10, all use Thunderbird and all have ESet, why was it just 1 computer that had this problem? Thanks Becky
