Thunderbird Headaches

Char| Category: Web Tools | 13 Comments

About a year ago I switched my email program from Outlook to Thunderbird and never looked back. I loved the way Thunderbird let me organize, tag, and prioritize my email. I loved that it never “hung” like Outlook and loved that it was FAST. But, all of a sudden it is giving me the biggest headache!

I can receive email from all of my accounts and can still sort, filter, tag and prioritize, but I can’t send anything out. Nothing. I  didn’t change anything - it just stopped working one day. I have checked and double checked my settings - but nothing has fixed it. Does anyone have any ideas?  I really don’t want to reload the program and risk losing anything.

Meanwhile, I am able to send and receive from those accounts using Mail2Web, but that is just a temporary workaround. My G-mail account is working fine, but I don’t really want to start accessing all of my email through it either. As much as I like its spam filtering, its organizational features are lacking.

So, I am open for ideas!! What are you using for your email management? Any thoughts as to why I suddenly can’t send out from Thunderbird?  Thanks in advance!
