Suddenly, thunderbird doesn't connect to remote server when i click "get messages".

Linux (ubuntu studio), 64 bit. Suddenly, thunderbird doesn't connect to remote server when i click "get messages". It just says "(account name): Connected to (mail server)" for a second or two at the bottom, then nothing. In the server logs, i get:
popa3d[6408]: Didn't attempt authentication
Trying to get my e-mail also seems to cause a bunch of these errors on the server:
(server) kernel: [18295.775491] lockd: cannot monitor laptop
where "laptop" is the client machine.
The problem seems to be caused by my mailbox files (Inbox and Inbox.msf) - when i create a clean ~/.thunderbird directory, i can get my e-mails, but when i place my mailbox files in this account's Mail directory, the problem comes back. Even if i place it as another name, and not Inbox.

I should add the following information:
- Neither "safe mode" or rebuilding the global-messages-db.sqlite file fixes the problem.
- Seamonkey has no problems with my Inbox and Inbox.msf file.
- The Inbox and Inbox.msf files are symlinks to files on a NFS filesystem.
- Downgrading to an earlier version of thunderbird doesn't fix the problem.
- Even if i remove the mail file from an account, the problem persists.
- I confirmed that i can telnet to the server on the pop3 port and login with the raw protocol.
The above mentioned lockd errors make me think this is a NFS related error, but if that's the case, why is seamonkey able to read my Inbox file without problems but not thunderbird?

  • Premiere Elements 8 "Could not connect to remote server" when sharing to YouTube

    I'm trying to share my Adobe Premiere Elements 8 video to YouTube through the task panel, but I get a "Could not connect to remote server" message. My computer is connected to the Internet. I notice at the bottom of the message there is "Open the Opera Help" and "Go to Opera's on-line support desk." I don't have Opera on this computer, so maybe that's it?

    No. You don't need Opera.
    Have you gone to Edit/Preferences and ensured that your Web Services are up to date?
    Otherwise, it could be that YouTube changed settings on us again. If that's the case, you'll need to post to it manually, per the FAQs to the right of this forum.

  • Why does Firefox 32.0 keep prompting me to update, then failing to get past the "connecting to update server" when I click the "update now" button?

    Happens with annoying frequency. The fresh install of 32.0 is barely a month old but this has been happening since a few days afterwards. I have let the update window run for up to 20 minutes. Nothing happened, ever. Apparently it never actually connects. Nor will it update automagically when I click on the "About" line on the Firefox menu bar dropdown.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 32.0.3: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Suddenly can't put files to remote server (again)

    Hello,
    In Dreamweaver 5.5 (OS 10.7) I suddenly can't FTP to the remote server. I had this problem a couple months ago (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5145574#5145574) and it was fixed by the following suggestion:
    Close DW.  Reboot your computer. Open DW. If you still cannot FTP to server, go to Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache.
    This worked for me the last time, but unfortunately it hasn't solved the current problem.
    At the moment, the updated files go through the normal process of being "put" to the server, but the changes don't appear when I check the live site. I've tried refreshing the page and emptying the cache. The files seem to be uploading to the correct location (they are not being put into a sub folder or anything). I've verified that I can connect to my web server. I haven't changed anything in my site definition and this problem just appeared out of the blue.
    Just like when this happened to me before, there are random files that want to synchronise (even though they haven't been updated), but nothing changes on the remote server. I've also tried to synchronize by 'deleting remote files not on local drive', but that doesn't help.
    Here is a glimpse of my current FTP log, in case that is useful:
    Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

  • SharePoint Online - "Unable to connect to remote server"

    Hi,
    I have a Provider Hosted App which gets the data from a different site collection. Now, when i try to connect to a different site collection, the TokenHelper
    class gives me an error -  "Unable to connect to remote server". 
    The error is thrown in the below line:
    acsMetadata = webClient.DownloadData(acsMetadataEndpointUrlWithRealm);
    The above error is not thrown always. It throws occasionally. I am not getting the reason for this. Could anybody explain what is the problem, please? 

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the error "Unable to connect to remote server" occurs in the WebClient.DownloadData Function.
    As this error throws occasionally, it should be related to the network issue, for a better troubleshooting, I suggest you can check the detailed error message using Fiddler.

  • SSRS 2008 - Unable to connect to remote server

    Win2k3 R2 SP2/SQL Server 2008 instance with SSRS/Visual Studio 2008
    I installed SQL 2008 and SSRS with native mode default configuration.
    All SQL 2008 services are running under "NT Authority\Network Service" account.
    When i try to deploy a new report, I get the "Unable to connect to remote server" error.
    The deploy operation creates empty folders on the web server (hosted by the SQL Server 2008 service)
    for e.g.
    my instance name is <machinename>$sql2008. i configured the WebService URL and the Reports Manager URL to port 85
    the deploy from VS creates ssrs2008Test folder and a Shared Data Sources folder in the following virtual directory
      - Report Manager URL: http://<machinename>:85/Reports_SQL2008/
      - Web Service URL: http://<machinename>:85/ReportServer_SQL2008
    however these folders are empty w/ no .rdl or .rds file. and i get the "Unable to connect to remote server"  error in Visual Studio 2008 when i deploy it.
    is there something else i have to tweak in either the SQL Server/SSRS Configuration Manager or the Windows Server Settings(like port settings or group policy) to get the reports to work?
    thanks

    Since 29/10/2012 my iphone 4s and more recently my ipad 3 will not connect to the server when trying to access my email account. All I get is an error message saying that 'cannot get mail, connection to the server failed' I hadnt changed any settings it just happened. I have since done a complete re-boot on the ipad but to no avail. Anybody got any suggestions?

    No. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. I hadn't changed any settings or switched either one off. When the phone stopped working properly I ignored it because I always have my ipad with me but that just sopped working properly and now I am stuffed. I have tried most solutions suggested on here even wiping the ipad clean and re-booting. I did this exactly the same way as when I first got it but still no joy. The same with the phone.

    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
