Re: emails not coming thru
Think we need more details.Thoughts? tx.
How is the account set up in Thunderbird, as POP or IMAP? Find out using menu path Tools->Account Settings->Server Settings->Server Type at the top right of the dialogue.
Is there any pattern to the messages not coming through? Are they all from a particular domain (such as @gmail.com)?
Have you confirmed that the messages are on the server by accessing the account using a browser?

Re: emails not coming thru
@mtwine,
As you're using SeaMonkey, not Thunderbird, the path to that setting in SeaMonkey Mail is: Edit | Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings | Server Settings | Server Type
Regards,
Dave.

Re: emails not coming thru
My server setting is POP Mail Server. My ISP and primary email provider is Fairpoint, where I can get my emails if I choose - I prefer to use SeaMonkey and have all my emails stored there.
When I click on "get messages", it either says it's downloading and nothing happens, or nothing happens at all. I went to my Fairpoint Webmail and deleted all except three small emails, so it shouldn't be a big email/attachment blocking anything.
If I click on "compact my inbox", it says it can't do it because another operation is in process. Don't have any idea what that operation might be.
I turn my computer off each night so it can reset, but it made no dif. tx.

Re: emails not coming thru
Did you update SeaMonkey to 2.48 about the time the problem began?
What security software are you running on that computer?

Re: emails not coming thru
I don't recall when I updated Seamonkey but I believe it's been a while, long before this problem started. I use Avira as my security software and have for years. tx.
