● Problems with Thunderbird.

● Problem is not consistent and does not occur all the time.

● There are no internet issues

● Almost like its resetting

● Can respond to email

● Deletes some of the email

● Always with thunderbird, and occurred three times this morning (mon day 23rd of july)

● Error occurs when they try to reply to an email, times out and struggles to save or send email.


Process of the problem is:

● When error takes place an error message appears which says connection to server timed out

● Next, the following message occurs saying that it is sending secure login information.

● It will then come up with a popup message which asks to confirm whether they want to retry as the message had a problem being saved to the sent folder. If they click OK everything is closed down.

● Sometimes this leads to blank messages being sent to the client.

● Finally a message will appear asking them to compact all local and offline folders to save disk space.

Also there is no record of the sent email in the sent folder
