In times of slow Internet, Thunderbird repeatedly says sending timed out, but it actually sends, resulting in multiple emails.

That about sums it up. I feel very unprofessional when it happens. Can I determine from within Thunderbird when it sends or doesn't send? How can I fix it? Is there a way to tell Thunderbird to prevent multiple identical emails?
When it times out, it won't appear in the Sent folder. Right now, to see if these timed-out emails actually sent, I have to open my web interface to gmail, which is the only place it'll show a complete roster of sent email. (I don't like the web interface, which is why I have Thunderbird in the first place.)

Thank you. After referring to these articles and checking the gmail settings, the SMTP appears to be correct. Also, this only happens when I have very slow speeds, and at all other times, Thunderbird does exactly what I expect it to do with outgoing email.

    Hello Nitadoo,
    u can make a new id and password by going to apple.com and clicking on the forgot id and forgot password button in login.
    also u can go to a nearby apple store and tell them that u want a new apple id and password
    maybe they'll even help u to retrieve ur old apple id and password

    I am using itunes 10.5. Update didnt work on last software but restore did work. Help

    After two days of attempts, Google & Apple searches, one Apple post stated to turn off all firewalls and virus software and keep trying since there were 6 gazillion people trying to update.  I have Windows 7 & Kaspersky and had to diable every single safety feature in Kaspersky as well as Firewalls and it finally allowed the download and update attempt. 
    Glancing at the forum, there appears to be numerous other problems with missing pictures, text problems etc after the IOS5 download but fortuneately, everything seems ok so far.  Good luck, it is frustrating!  Hattie47

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • Itunes keeps saying session timed out

    I am trying update an one of my iTunes accounts. When I trying to deauthorize all computers (because I no longer have most of them), I am repeatedly asked to login. My account says that there are 4 Downloads pending, but when I click Download I get a screen that says "session timed out".  I have reset the Internet time which one page said might be the problem to no avail.  I am working on a PC laptop.

    Possibly your server is responding too slowly. In iTunes, from the 'Advanced' menu choose 'Subscribe to Podcast'. Enter your feed URL. See whether you can subscribe there, and whether there is an appreciable delay.

    Anyone know how to fix this problem..... I am trying to update and download the latest version for my phone and it gets all the way to the end and says network timed out error 3259 or something. I have tried a so many times and get the same answer. I have restarted the computer, internet, etc. NOTHING. HELP!!!

    Are you doing this over a wireless network.  This happened a long time ago when we had DSL. I got sick of it and went to broadband thru our cable company.
       If you are using  wireles router, use a  cable and connect your computer via the cable to the modem or wireless router if you have a location for the cable upon the wireless router.     I think it is a cat 5 cable that connects the computer to your modem or wireless router. This way you Internet should not time out. 
    I hope this helps you.  It is hard to identify the issue not knowing your Internet connect setup. Some modems and wireless routers have more Port options.    

  • When Accessing iTunes store it says connection timed out??

    Every time I try to go to iTunes it says the connection has timed and to check my settings and/or network connectivity. So I ran a diagnostic check and it says everything was successfully verified that it was able to connect to the internet, and to iTunes. It said the last successful store (ability to access iTunes) was when I tried to get into last, but I the connection timed out I never actually got to the iTunes store..
    Now there have been two times i got into the iTunes store but when I went to download something or when its asking me to edit the billing info it always times out.. Could it have anything to do with my bank account???

    I am having similar issues except that the store starts to load, then stops, then I only get iTunes Store in gray letters on a white screen. I can access playlist and the other stuff. Like flamesgirl, I contacted them and they just keep sending me links of stuff to try which I had already seen on the Apple website and nothing works. I posted the question on another forum I belong to and one responder said her husband was in an Apple store and asked about this problem as he was having the same issue. They said an update would be coming out soon as they were aware of the problem. Who knows.

  • Yesterday my ipod touch 4g would connect and to wifi and i was able to go on safari and search etc. but last night at 11 pm it would say that it was connected to wifi but wouldn't connect to safari it would say request timed out

    it would say request timed out so i restored my ipod erased and reset it hoping it would delete the problem but it was still there it says that it is connected to wifi but will not launch safari and will bring up that message request timed out. itunes app store anything that uses internet/wifi will not work. it is not in airplane mode and wifi is on. i also forgot to mention this but it would also sometimes say that it is not connected to the internet even though i have 3 bars of wifi.

    The router itself will always be sending a signal to devices connected to it.  The router could not even be connected to your modem and it will still show that you have a connection on your device.  Check your router config, reset it, and if all fails, contact your internet service provider.

  • Whenever I try to buy songs on my phone it goes through my credit card authentication process. When I select done it gives a message saying session timed out. What do I do?

    Whenever I try to buy songs on my phone it goes through my credit card authentication process. When I select done it gives a message saying session timed out. This has happened mulitiple times. What do I do?

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps
