Can't receive email
Haven't received email for 6 days now. Checked everything and all is configured correctly. Nothing has been recently changed or updated. I can send email but not receive any, Went through a web-based server and all my email was there, just nothing through thunderbird.

It looks like you still have connection security set to None, when it should be SSL/TLS, for incoming and outgoing, and the authentication method should be 'normal password'.

What error message do you get?
I didn't get any error message. The emails just suddenly stopped. I usually get 20-30 a day, sometimes more, and I've received nothing since about 3:00 on last Thursday afternoon. Yet I've been sent over a hundred emails since then.

It looks like you still have connection security set to None, when it should be SSL/TLS, for incoming and outgoing, and the authentication method should be 'normal password'.
Finally working! Thank you everyone for your help!
