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. |

Weird!Â* I was going to enable OAuth2 but, as I said, it never askes for a password or key.Â* Any ideas? An update on my problem.Â* As I said previously, I have 4 PCs at home that are having the same problems.Â* I can't use client based email programs, namely Thunderbird, but I also tried the W10 Email client program, with similar results.Â* I called Frontier, my provider and of course, it was not their problem.Â* Yesterday I took my laptop to my church, where they have a different provider with a fiber directly to the building.Â* I turned on the laptop, opened Thunderbird and it immediately started accessing all of my gmails from 2 different accounts.Â* I was also able to send emails.Â* Talking to the Frontier techs, they continued to blame Thunderbird.Â* 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.Â* 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.Â* I don't believe it will happen without me squawking again.Â* But, today I took my laptop to a friend's house that is close by, which also uses Frontier, but on a different remote.Â* Thunderbird again worked perfectly.Â* So, it looks to me like the problem is in my remote, DSLM.Â* I'm going to try going to a neighbor's house, who is on the same remote as me, and see what happens.Â* No wonder Frontier has filed for some type of bankruptsy protection!Â* More later, as it happens. 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. |
