About 2 weeks ago I was unable to receive emails but could send emails using Thunderbird. A few days ago I was no longer able to send emails in addition to not receive. This is the error message I got "Sending of password for user bobvigeant@myfairpoint.net did not succeed. Mail server pop3.fairpoint.net responded: Auth-Status: Invalid login or password", then, "Login to server pop3.fairpoint.net with username bobvigeant@myfairpoint.net failed" giving me the option to enter a new password and the cycle starts over again. I have some Gmail accounts in Thunderbird and those accounts are able to send & receive Emails. Then I could not send or receive Emails using Outlook on computer or on my Android phone. My internet service provider, Consolidated Communications changed my password and Outlook & Android are now fine with the Emails, but not Firefox, Consolidated thinks it's a Thunderbird issue. Can anyone help???
