My Thunderbird won't ESTABLISH a connection to the Internet.
If I am already connected, it retrieves and sends emails without a problem.
Thunderbird 7.0.1
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authentication method: Normal password
Under Options>Advanced>Connection Settings: checked "Use system proxy settings"
If I am not connected to the Internet the message that pops up immediately in lower left corner when I click on Get Mail is, "Looked up pop.sonic.net..." That message just stays there. There is no activity. However...
If I am connected to the Internet, the messages are:
Looking up pop.sonic.net
Connected to pop.sonic.net...
Connect: Host for **** Contacted...
Then T-bird checks for messages and downloads them
Why won't T-bird establish the connection?
Thank you for any help... Diane
