Email randomly goes offline. Can I somehow get it to stay online unless I ask it not to?

Thunderbird question.
Email seems to work fine for me, but... It sometimes may go offline when I am on the web or have put it to sleep. I look for emails and the pop-up says: "You are offline. Would you like to go online...." Not a big deal, but annoying, and also troubling in that I don't know what I may have done to bring this on. It may happen several times in a day, or it may behave itself for a day or two.

Thunderbird goes offline when it sees the network connection go away. Keep that from happening and Thunderbird stays online.
Are you on a laptop that goes to sleep and powers down the network card?
Have you discovered the online/offline icon in the lower left corner of the screen? It looks like 2 monitors. You can check and change states from there.

  • Skype randomly goes offline during calls.

    Hi, guys! 
    My skype randomly goes offline for no reason at all. One minute I'm talking to my friends, next minute I'm not. This is really annoying and I really want it fixed!!  In most cases, Skype will go offline at around 12 seconds to 30mins during the call. My internet disconnects but I can still surf the web. Please fix this immediatly because this so so annoying. PLEASE HELP!! THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I COULD THINK OF!!!

    You can uninstall current version of Skype from the control Panel and you can install Special Version.

    and disable automatic updating of Skype.
    In Skype, Tools >> Options >> Advanced >> Automatic updates >> Click on Turn off automatic updates >> Save Changes.

  • Hamachi randomly goes offline

    I've loaded Hamachi (the latest version, 2.2.0.377) on a friend's Windows 7 computer. It's been on there for a while (a couple of years). I have been logging on recently to do some tech support for him and have noticed that occasionally when I go to connect, Hamachi is offline. I can connect (via TeamViewer) to another computer in his network running Hamachi and then get to this computer as well to get Hamachi back online. The next day I typically have to do the same thing to get back in. The Windows 7 machine is not rebooting; it remains logged on and working fine. I've left the Hamachi chat window on my side open for long periods of time and I can see his machine going offline, online, back offline, etc. at random times. He's not doing it manually. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Hamachi to no avail. Anyone ever seen anything like this? And have a fix? Thanks,Brian

    Hi We get this issue too, it happens when a connection becomes poor such as 3G or Satelite.WE have managed to write a script that fires it back up but really isnt viable long term. This issue makes the product completely useless and there seems to be no response to the issue. We are moving to NeoRouter but are sad that what was a great solution is not viable anymore.   Ken

  • MG6220 Randomly Goes Offline, Won't Power Down Correctly

    Connected wirelessly. Printer goes offline for all PCs in my LAN. Attempting to power down printer with power button results in the printer endlessly displaying message "powering down, please wait" but printer never shuts down. Manually unplugging the printer and turning back brings the printer back online. Did not see any similar threads on this site. Any help appreciated. Thanks

  • Mailbox randomly goes OFFLINE

    Have 4 email accounts.  A couple weeks ago they started to randomly go to Account Offline.  I can click to go account online and next time it checks for mail the email account will go online.  However another email account may go offline.  My wife's iMac started doing this about the same time.  I'm running OS 10.9.5 on a one year old iMAC.   We are on Century Link with embarqmail.com address.  Any suggestions appreciated.   Thanks

    Yup, check with your ISP to see if you have connection issues.

  • While updating Firefox it somehow went to "work offline." I cannot get Firefox as my browser unless I go through Explorer first. How do I correct this? Also I lost my "favorites" when I tried to update.

    When I try to get online clicking my icon, I get a box that states "Firefox is currently in offline mode and cannot browse the web. Uncheck the 'work offline' menu item, and then try again."
    Also I lost my favorites list and cannot retrieve it.

    Did you try to toggle File > Work Offline to see if that helps.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Now I received the letter that asks me to verify my registration and when I click on the link I get the window stating Firefox is offline, so I can't verify my registration.

  • Can you somehow get the templates in Quicktime?

    I would love to have the DVD Studio Pro templates as a quicktime file. Is that possible?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You mean the background movies and stills? These are available to you easily enough.
    Add a template to your project and look in the assets tab, select an item and control+click on it. Choose 'Reveal in Finder' from there and you'll get to where it is located on your hard drive (they are all inside a series of package files in your library).
    Some are not what you might expect, others make use of .pox files which are not editable at all, and others will have simple movies and masks...
    Have fun, but back up everything before changing them!

  • Like an idiot, i bought a game for an ipad and only have a macbook air. can i somehow get the game to play on my air? or have i just thrown $5.29 out of the window?!?

    I recently bought a game for an "ipad", (thru itunes), when I only have a MacBook Air...I had seen where you could switch apps back and forth between devices, ad I thought I could do this. Is there a way to play the game on my Air laptop? Or did I just throw $5.29 out of the window? One more thing...it involved Facebook, and I don't belong...or want to belong!?
    I want to play Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, etc. ON MY MACBOOK AIR!?!???

    No way to play an iOS game on a Mac presently.
    I suspect if you contacted Apple's Customer Support and explained the situation they would refund or credit your account.

  • Why can't I get ahold of a real person to ask about my account?

    Hello?

    I've always had rapid responses from them when I've mailed them via contact us or report a problem against the item I have purchased.  They don't respond immediately but that's not surprsing when you consider the sheer volume of users they have and how many people will be experiencing problems, but I've rarely had to wait 24 hours for them to get back to me.

  • Why can't I get my iTunes library to sync all tunes and not just purchased tunes

    I have itunes on my pc, macbookair, and iphone .  I'm able to sync however the libraries are not the same.  iphone and pc 342 tunes, macbook air shows only those purchased from itunes and not those added years ago by uploading CDs.  All settings seem to be OK - share all, sync all, all devices authorized etc.  Any suggestions?
