After downloading an upgrade to thunderbird I can't connect to my email server

message reads: could not connect to mail server [email protected] the connection was refused

If you have the urge to say suddenly my mail stopped downloading / working. It is more than likely not an issue with your mail client. Sometimes it is the mail provider changing connection settings so these need to be confirmed. Other times if it is following an update to Thunderbird, then it is more than likely the firewall component in your internet security suite / anti virus.
I suggest you look at the anti virus/firewall aspect.

    After downloading IOS 8.0.2 I can not connect to the internet, any solutions?

    It is not the wording but the lack of detail.
    The iPhone connects to both the phone network (3G, LTE, etc) and to WiFi networks.  Which one (or both) are you having issues with?
    If it is the phone network, go to Settings->Cellular and see if Cellular data is turned on globally AND for the apps you wish to use.
    If it is a WiFi network, go to Settings->Wi-Fi and see if you are connected to a network.  If so, touch the circled "i" next to the network name and see that you have a valid IP address, etc. (take a screen shot and post it if you don't know what to look for).

  • Ios6.1 can't connect to the email server

    I just updated from 5 to 6.1 tonight.  Since then, I can no longer get my yahoo email.  I get a message saying it can't connect to the server.  This happened once before to me, but all I had to do was turn the phone off and then on again, and it resolved itself.  I tried that this time, but it didn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Not being able to connect to my email would be a big inconvenience.

    Yahoo mail server can be down (it happens quite frequently).
    Try, delete the account and set it up again.

  • TS1702 After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.

    After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.
    How to fix this?

    There seems to be massive amounts of problems with every aspect of iOS 6. From what I understand all you can do is try and reset your device and pray that Apple bequeaths working software next time or allows users to revert to iOS 5 while they search for someone who knows what they are doing. Perhaps you will need to use an alternate email app until then? (Although, Gmail seems to be the only one that works properly)

  • After downloading Safari upgrade 5.0.5 emails prior to 12/2010 disappeared from my hotmail account. How do I restore?

    on 4/22/2011 I downloaded an upgrade "Safari 5.0.5" and afterwards I noticed emails prior to Dec 2010 disappeared from my Hotmail account on my iMAC. The are still in residence on my PC running Windows Vista meaning this problem is specific to my iMAC running version 10.6.7. I have the disappeared email problem whether i use Safari, Firefox or Camino browsers. What can I do to restore my emails on my imac?

    It you are viewing the email from a Mac browser app, then it stands to reason that the email resides on the Microsoft mail server, not on the iMac. If the email is no longer available for viewing, then logically the email has been removed from the server.
    The question then is, how are you accessing the email from the Windows machine? Are you also viewing the email from a browser app, such as Internet Explorer, or are you using an email client app? If you are also viewing the email from a browser on the Windows computer, then you have a bit of an enigma, why is the email available for viewing from a Windows browser, and not from a Mac browser? However, if you are using an email client app, such as Entourage, then the email client app has likely been configured to download the email to your Windows box and to then delete the email from the server after having done so.

  • Ipad mini is snowy with a white rectangle across it after downloading an upgrade to some golf game. what to do?

    The iPad mini screen went snowy with a white rectangle across the top after downloading an upgrade to a golfing game. We deleted the app, restarted it. It worked for a few minutes, but is back to snow and white rectangle. iPad mini with 128 gb memory; iOS 7.01 or whatever the latest is

    Hi jamiefromoxnard,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you have deleted the application and restarted the iPad, you have already done some great troubleshooting. The next step I would suggest in this situation is a reset. The following article will explain how to reset.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the reset doesn’t resolve the situation, you may need to restore your iPad. The following article will provide information for backing up your data and restoring the device.

  • Since upgrading to IOS8 I can't send or receive emails.  Can I uninstall?

    Since upgrading to IOS8 I can't send or receive emails. Can I uninstall?

    That's strange.
    I bet you updated your iPad without using iTunes.
    Anyway
    No, you cannot uninstall iOS 8 and downgrade to iOS 7, but you can try reinstall iOS 8.
    I would suggest you to do it from DFU mode.
    Here are some things you need to know before proceeding:
    You WILL NOT lose your photos, messages, notes, reminders or anything on your device.
    If you choose to backup on iTunes, you will NOT lose your Apps. Anyway, if that happens someway, (it shouldn't happen, don't worry) you can download them later for FREE.
    Here's how to proceed:
    -First of all, as usual, do a complete backup of your device either on iCloud or your iTunes (i personally suggest iTunes. If iTunes asks to backup Apps, agree.)
    -Put your device in DFU [While the iPad is connected to iTunes, press and hold both the home and the power button. When the Apple logo appears, release the power button and keep holding the home button until you see the iTunes logo on the iPad screen.]
    -Once your device is in DFU mode, iTunes will automatically detect it as an iPad in recovery mode, so it will ask you to restore your iPad.
    -Click on Restore and accept iOS 8 terms and conditions to continue the installation.
    -Wait for iTunes to download and install the software.
    -Once your iPad restarts, you will be guided to the configuration of your iPad. When it asks you if you want to configure it as a new iPad or restore from a backup, choose the iTunes or iCloud backup depending on where your backup is.
    -Wait for iTunes to restore your device.
    You're done!
    Now test your device and let me know if everything works well!
    Cheers, @tooFrozen

  • After updating to 10.6.7 I can't connect wirelessly to iCal any ideas?

    Hi Everyone,
    Here is my problem, I have an ipod touch and an iPad that I have been able to connect to my iCal server, and update everything just fine. After I updated my server to 10.6.7 I can't connect to my iCal Server. Funny thing is I can connect with my 2 mac mini's that are hard wired and my Macbook Pro which is wireless. For some reason its just the 2 portable iOS devices that can't connect. I haven't changed any setting at all. Of course I use my portable devices to access my calender the most when I'm on the go. Any ideas would be great! As always thanks for any help in advance. Also if you need any config info let me know and how to do it. I know very little about command line.
    Thanks

    Hi Kcam

    Hi all,
    Thanks a lot for ur reply. It worked me atlast.I have installed JDK1.4 and try to run my program.But it was creating some junk value instaed of creating picture. Actullay my programme needs some third party fonts , it was not loading after i have upgraded. But what i did is , copied the fonts file in to <Java_home>/jre/lib/fonts/ directory. Now it's working fine.
    I have done another thing .I am using resin-2.1.0 to serve my JSp pages . So i have added $JAVA_ARGS="-Djava.awt.headless=true"; in wrapper.pl . If u will not add this line then iot will not work for you.
    Thank u once again.
