Connection to server timed out?

[DoubleFelix]

Has anybody seen a change? So far today I have not had any problems.

I just started having this problem about 30 minutes ago with my incoming mail. Outgoing to that secureserver is fine.

Had the same issue as flbeachcomer. Seems to have just resolved itself. (I was getting the error message window - "Connection to server pop.secureserver.net timed out." and I couldn't close it by clicking OK. Window would continuously blink.

I'll hope for the best!

Godaddy email (pop.secureserver.net) has been unusable for me from Thunderbird for the last few days, due to the connection timeout issue. It seems to go in cycles, really bad for a few days, then no problems. Outbound SMTP is never a problem for me. Whenever I call, their support claims there's nothing wrong on their end, and the web-based interface always works fine.

Is there a way to turn on logging to see exactly what's happening, and what it's waiting for?

I get this message
Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtpout.secureserver.net was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again or contact your network administrator.

I use go daddy and it has always worked fine except the last two days and it is just on outgoing mail, i get mail just fine

i am using all of the correct settings as it wasn't working, then for 24 hours it worked, now it isn't again. have tried changing ports, have tried calling go daddy. can send via webmail but that defeats the purpose. i can send on my gmail account just fine. help! i have thunderbird 3.1.7

THE PROBLEM WAS AVG

Just to let you guys know, what fixed the problem for me was to go into the options in my Yahoo mail -> then POP and Forward settings and set it to "allow" mail to be "POPed". Reset everything, enter your password and all SHOULD (cross your fingers) be fine.

Hope that helps.

"Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtp.suddenlink.net timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator."

I am having trouble with this error. It's kind of a on again off again problem, but it does it mostly with my secondary account at Suddenlink.

Settings are as follows.
Server is POP port 110
I have the correct userID and password as they work on webmail.

Am just wondering what causes this time out and if there is a setting I can use to maybe help with this ......

I am having so much trouble trying to set up my Thunderbird account for work. The company already has an email account and it's AccountNotify@redturtle.com. I have tried everything for outgoing server;smtp.redturtle.com, mail.redturtle.com, mail.aquesthosting.com. I have tried normal and encrypted password. I have tried AccountNotify and AccountNotify@redturtle,com for username. Ports are 143 and 25. I KNOW the email and password are correct. I'm just so lost and confused. The email sets up but when I try to send an email it says Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtp.redturtlemusic.com timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator. I've also tried POP3 and IMAP. I'm not sure which version of thunderbird I have, I just downloaded it though, so maybe the latest one?

PLEASE HELP!! I would appreciate soooo very much!

I had a problem with my server disconnecting and not letting the message be sent, or just timing out. I added a new outgoing server, smtp."myurl".com (Tools, Account settings, Outgoing server) and set it to default. Problem solved. Apparently, in my case, my outgoing server setting was corrupt and would not reliably transmit a message. Chris Baum
