Hi Art,

Reinstalling Thunderbird does not alter
your existing profile.Â* Any boo-boos in
that will remain.

See my response to Alex's question for a fix
to your problem.

If that does not work, you can always start
Thunderbird's profile manager with "Thunderbird -P"
and create a new profile and see it that works.
Don't do this if you are not using imap.
Thunderbird should automatically use OAuth2
and create new tokens for you in the new profile

-T


Or in your current profile, just delete the account
and recreate it.

Good point, I'll try that next.

You do mean to delete the account in TBird, not in gmail itself, right?


Just Thunderbird. And only if using iMap.

gmail account.Â* Could google be blocking on the basis of IP address?


I doubt it.

Try going into %appdata%\remote and renaming Thunderbird (forces a new
profile) and start over. You can always
put the old profile back if things don't work out.

Tried it, still no go. But here's another curious thing. If I try to
install a non gmail account, like a pop3 from my ISP, I get the same
timeout error. Hmmmmm.

This suggests that your computer is not compatible with anything. Have
you thought of buying a new laptop or desktop from DELL?

The major problem is that you are infected with what is commonly called
PEBCAC, EBKAC, PEBCAK or PEBDAC. It's difficult to say which one
unless you see an IT Technician. This should be treated as very serious
indeed and sorted out as quickly as possible.

Have you gone into your Gmail account and allowed email
clients? By default it's webmail only.
I had to do that years ago. No idea what the actual setting is
called. POP and IMAP?
I don't think this is an OS issue. Try booting from a Linux CD
and if that also doesn't work, it's your account settings.

Are you on the same network / ISP?

Can you surf the web?

Are you using the same Anti Virus and have your
tried it with your Anti Virus disabled.

If you are using a NAT router, have you tried bypassing
it and hooking directly to your WAN (ISP's provided)
address?

Yes, all on my home network and thus, the same ISP. BTW, I've set up
TBird many times before and haven't had this problem ever. I've started
using TBird for NewsGroups (eternal-september), which does work. I'm
doing that form TBird right now. I've started using the gmail web
interface for emails. My son, the IP guy for a large company, says
that's the only way to go. You get all the latest features and the best
of everything. Not sure I agree about the best part. But, I'm making
due. I think I'll try calling my ISP and try to install their pop3
email in TBird, which, right now, doesn't work. The only thing that
does work, besides basic web surfing, is the smtp which I'm using to
send out posts thru e-sept.

News a different port than does gmail.

There is a very good possibility that your router is corked.
Try hooking up directly to your ISP without your router.

If that does not work, ring your ISP's ears.

If you are comfortable with nmap, this is what a trace
should look like:

$ nmap -Pn imap.gmail.com
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-03-29 15:53 PDT
Nmap scan report for imap.gmail.com (173.194.202.108)
Host is up (0.031s latency).
Other addresses for imap.gmail.com (not scanned): 173.194.202.109
2607:f8b0:400e:c04::6c
rDNS record for 173.194.202.108: pf-in-f108.1e100.net
Not shown: 996 filtered ports

PORT STATE SERVICE
465/tcp open smtps
587/tcp open submission
993/tcp open imaps
995/tcp open pop3s

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 4.46 seconds

Port 465 TCP and 587 TCP are what smpt uses
Port 993 TCP is what imap uses

Notice that port 995 TCP is pop3 secure

If these ports do not show, then you can really ring you
ISP's ears. But better not do any ringing until
you test without your router in the circuit.

An update on my problem. As I said previously, I have 4 PCs at home
that are having the same problems. I can't use client based email
programs, namely Thunderbird, but I also tried the W10 Email client
program, with similar results. I called Frontier, my provider and of
course, it was not their problem. Yesterday I took my laptop to my
church, where they have a different provider with a fiber directly to
the building. I turned on the laptop, opened Thunderbird and it
immediately started accessing all of my gmails from 2 different
accounts. I was also able to send emails. Talking to the Frontier
techs, they continued to blame Thunderbird. I told them they were not
listening to me as it worked on another ISP's service and I also had the
same problem on W10 email client. After many dropped calls and false
starts, they were going to bump it to the next tier, but it could take
up to 72 hours. I don't believe it will happen without me squawking
again. But, today I took my laptop to a friend's house that is close
by, which also uses Frontier, but on a different remote. Thunderbird
again worked perfectly. So, it looks to me like the problem is in my
remote, DSLM. I'm going to try going to a neighbor's house, who is on
the same remote as me, and see what happens. No wonder Frontier has
filed for some type of bankruptsy protection! More later, as it happens.

Did you try rebooting your router? Just power cycle it.

No,Â* he decided to let Jesus Christ solve this for him.Â* Is that OK with
you?Â* Did you know that you are likely to be next for that Chinese Virus
infection.Â* All Spanish and Columbian drug dealers have been given a
tentative date for this!!.

I might be missing something since I didn't see your previous posts
(just joined Usenet yesterday) but it sounds to me like your ISP (or
your firewall) is blocking the ports used by e-mail clients. It can be
110 if you're using POP3, 995 if you're using POP3 with SSL or TLS, 143
if you're using IMAP with TLS or 993 if you're using IMAP with SSL. When
you send mail, the port number is usually 25 if it's unencrypted or
465/587 if it is.

Check your mail settings and see which ports you're using. If it's set
up to IMAP and you're using 143, try 993 instead with SSL or the inverse.
