Thunderbird communicates only with servers?

I use Thunderbird 24.6.0 on a Sony Vaio with Windows 7. Everything worked along smoothly until about a week ago. One night, I used Thunderbird to check my e-mail from Comcast (as I did for years) and everything was normal. The next day, worked in Thunderbird. When I open Thunderbird, it says "Connecting to < email server >"... and nothing ever happens. I use this as my main account email account, so I don't usually open Thunderbird every day, so I have not messed with it again since then. Today I decided to try again and nothing has changed: it says "connecting" but never connects to receive my email. I tried to send an email as a test and got the message, "the message could not." not sent because the connection to the smtp.comcast.net failed I went to the Comcast website to check all my settings and checked them in Thunderbird. I noticed that my account in Thunderbird was introduced as POP and Comcast recommend IMAP so I tried changing it to that, but nothing works.

I don't know if this means something important or not, but if I go to Account Settings-> Actions-> account and click on get a new account, I get a message that says: "sorry - we are unable to communicate with our server subscription. Please check your connection. "This reminds me of Thunderbird just cannot communicate with the internet at all, and I have no idea why this would be the case (especially since nothing has changed in the interval between when Thunderbird last worked normally and when it started).

I can access my e-mail through my phone, and Comcast web mail is certainly not a problem with my email account. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, Matt, I was frustrated. I'm sorry, but it's frustrating when your email suddenly stops working without obvious reason why. Only, I posted here when, after a week, he doesn't always work and any troubleshooting that I helped him. All my Comcast server settings were correct. My firewall doesn't seem to be the problem. I only started to tinker around with settings of the server as a last resort when nothing else has worked, and then who still made no difference (because I was correct and as indicated previously, you cannot exchange a POP IMAP account - AND it wouldn't let me create a new account, because he says that it could not connect).

As I mentioned above, I didn't know that my version of Thunderbird is so old and obsolete and Thunderbird did not tell me that is. He said even she was aware and that he wouldn't do an automatic update. After update it the other night, nothing seemed to be different because it has expired always all telling him ' connection to...» ». However, this morning, it downloaded my mail. I brought no further changes - everything is as it was when my last message, but now it seems again to communicate with mail servers. I still don't understand, but fine, it works. Oh, and Yes, my modem is provided by Comcast. I'll go look for exactly what model is if my problem comes back.

I apologize for my frustration with the situation, but I appreciate your response and your help.

  • E2500 router communicates only with HP printer cable.

    I have a HP color LaserJet 2605dn printer and router e2500. I decided to run an Ethernet cable from the router to the printer instead of via the USB port of the laptop that works fine for a couple of years.

    Is the green light on the router would be flashing quick or light yellow on the printer. Guess there is a communication problem. After some reading material at random on Web sites and messages, I manually changed the IP address of the printer: 192.168.1.110 (that is outside the range of the DHCP users (6) quantity, which starts at 192.168.1.100)

    Leave the configuration window Panel > devices Printers & I added a new "Standard TCP/IP Port" to match the one I put manually (192.168.1.110).

    I varied results when I ping this new IP address while that the yellow light on the Ethernet port on the printer flashes quickly. Sometimes I will have 4 packets that have been sent in the ping also received, sometimes none are received, sometimes 1 and sometimes 2 packets are received. For example, ping results are contradictory and I don't know why that should be.

    I guess that none of my configurations 'Basic Wireless Settings' and "Wireless Security" have an impact here. After all, I'm trying only to communicate with my printer wirelessly via my laptop to the printer via a network cable. Also, I'm not a very technical person. I managed to get this far, but I'm at a loss for what keeps my router to communicate with the printer of mine. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Using the printer management page, make sure you on the JetDirect Automatic for networking information. If your automatic support of networking, it must acquire an IP address from the router if the LAN cable is in good working condition. Make a print on the printer configuration page to see what IP address it acquired from the router.

    If you decide you want to put a static IP address on the printer, make sure you on the JetDirect information
    Manual and instead use 192.168.1.110 tends in the poole DHCP address, try using 192.168.1.26. You will need configure the printer driver in windows accordingly to point to the IP address.

  • External DMM communicates only with the LabVIEW executables

    Hello

    I currently have a system of power supplies connected with GPIB and an Agilent E34405A DMM connected via USB.  The system works fine when I use the complete Labview program, but when I make an executable and installler and put it on another machine, that I can not get the DMM communicate the work of supplies of power very well and done my other equipment.  Any thoughts?

  • SJ G4010 communicates only with the HP scanning software

    Now, I have the same problem as others.  I am running win xp pro.

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled the software (HP Solution Center) because I wasn't able to scan from Corel Presentations, I could do with my old HP scanning 4470c SJ.

    Now, when I try to open HP Solution Center's, I get the following message:

    "No HP devices have been detected.  HP Solutions Center's will be closed

    When I try to acquire an image from the scanner when I'm in HP PhotoSmart first or in Corel presentation I get this message:

    "Unable to communicate with HP scanning software. Please check that it has been installed and working properly.  If the problem persists please closed your application and try again. »

    Of course, it does not solve the problem.

    After this error message I get an additional error in HP PhotoSmart first stating:

    'Invalid Twain State'.

    It is interesting I can scan from in MS Paint and also MS multimedia library of MS Office 2007, which means that the scanner works.  I can also use the scanner with MS scanner and Camera Wizard.  The problem seems to be in the inability of the HP software to detect the scanner.

    Any ideas?

    OS - win xp pro sp3

    This blog has solved my problem of communication between the HP and my G4010 scanner solution Center:

    http://hpanswers.blogspot.com/2007/12/no-HP-devices-detected-HP-solution.html

    The solution is to download the latest software on the HP ftp site and rub all the residual Scanner HP program remains on your hard drive or your registry before attempting to reinstall.

    Still can not sweep of Corel Presentations as I used to with my old SJ deceased 4470c but it's just a minor irritant compared to what I went through to fix this.

  • HP Pavilion a6600f desktop PC communicates only with the monitor

    Our bureau a6600f HP Pavilion PC (with OS 64 - bit Windows Vista) has stopped communicating with his monitor.

    The start process seems to work for 7-8 seconds before stopping.  We can hear the fans and CD unit turn during this period.  There is no warning beeps.

    We went from monitors to exclude a monitor problem. Both have two monitors, that we have given to the case put off until the boot process - which may indicate no comments received.

    We tried to reset the BIOS blindly in accordance with the instructions provided for elsewhere in this forum.  We also tried to boot from a CD without success.  Please notify.

    Once the boot sequence was not even initializing, I realized, I discovered the solution.  A simple search online for 'black screen' and 'no boot' leads to results multiple problems related to the integrated NVIDIA gpu chip.

    The chip is apparently subject to overheating to the point where its connective solder may melt and break its link with the motherboard.  This issue mainly comes in laptops because of the sealed enclosure, but it has been reported also occur in models of office such as ours.

    This broken link results in a black screen and an inability to boot into the BIOS.  Several of these instances have been diagnosed wrongly that the motherboards 'failed '.  Fortunately, there's a fix called "reinvest."   It comes down to warm up the chip gpu to the point where his welding redéroule reconnect the loose pins.

    Some repair shops are fully aware of this problem and offer to repair it for about $80 at present.  Some DIY Laptop owners have also posted videos online in order to document how they have reorganized their own chips using a variety of means.

    I decided to take the road of this last, warm our chip NVIDIA gpu with a heat gun using a heat shield to protect surrounding components of the motherboard.  My attempt to reflow works perfectly, so I handed in thermal sinks the gpu with some thermal paste expenses place to finish the job.

    To summarize the question, our desktop HP Pavilion a6600f PC lost communication with his chip gpu NVIDIA Geforce 7100 integrated due to the chip overheat and melt its connective solder.  This broken link compromised the ability of the motherboard to initialize its startup sequence, which gives no output to the screen, resulting in a screen empty.  A new graphics card does not resolve the issue, given that the motherboard was inoperative because of the connective issue with the gpu chip built-in.  Reinvest the gpu chip has solved the problem.

  • TestStand communicates only with labview

    Hi all

    I use 2012 Teststand and Labview 2012 SP1. I use Testsequence calling developed Codemodules usnig Labview 2012.

    Question 1: When I call the main sequence code modules was not called. But when I sperately run the VI (besides it's simple, DMM vi) the VI was running perfectly.

    solution:-open the tab configuration and selected LabVIEW and selected adapters. After that obtaining in that we chose Runtime Engine to motor development.

    With this, the issue got sorted on why is this behavior happened.

    Please let me know if anyone knows or in front of the same type of problem.

    Hello

    I have recently experienced problems with TestStand and LabVIEW code modules, finally I found linked below white paper, which can also be useful for you:

    http://www.NI.com/white-paper/9923/en/

    In order to understand what is the cause, I have a few questions below:

    Having developed this VI or is it a real VI from the NI-DMM palette?

    If you open the VI in the LabVIEW development system and select the file-> properties VI, is version 12.0 indeed?

    The VI uses no control or Subvi, so then, what are these and also they are stored in libraries?

    If you build a project with your VI, create an executable, done this successfully executed? (Some properties and functions are not supported on the runtime incompatibility may be found here).

    Best regards

  • HP Photosmart C3180 communicates only with the PCs after the storm of lighting


    Dear Gordon thank you very much for the reply. You just confirmed my own conclusion that my machine is broken. It lasted 6 years and it could be another 6 If the lighting is not it. I don't mind on the cost of buying a replacement, which is not high after all, but it's sad to not be able to just fix the broken printer and make it feasible again... In addition I will lose the recently bought inks (which encrypted under the all-in-one machine to a single entry). However I will continue to use for photocopying and printing using an SD card that finished inks and then buy another machine... The analysis will be a problem, but I'm going to use my camera to capture what I have in electronic form best regards
