Pop3 error....Server responded:

I have two accounts set up in Thunderbird as I have for several years now. A few days ago I started receiving the message "An error occurred with the POP3 mail server.Mail server mail.btinternet.com responded:" I am still getting the mail from one account and have to get my btinternet emails from btyahoo mail site. I have re-installed thunderbird 3.1.8, checked all the settings and cannot see any changes to the settings. I have checked by way of google with no success, anyone have any clues please?

This is a serious problem that exactly replicates mine from last weekend, 26 March 2011.
Having upgraded to Thunderbird 3.1.9, on Win7 Pro, it has corrupted my settings with its"new" auto-setting wizard, after which no amount of uninstalling and reverting (to as old as version 2.1.7) will solve. I have tried deleting the user accounts personal folders and removing every registry entry but with no success.
I can send an e mail but cannot now receive any in Win7.
Fortunately, I still run XP with thunderbird and this connects and downloads all my e mails correctly WITH EXACTLY THE SAME SETTINGS as now fails in Win7 every time with the dubious >>An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server mail.btinternet.com responded:<<
If you cannot get into your e mails, then use this link;-
https://mail2web.com/login/?lid=0&il=1
It is ironic that simply entering just your e mail address and password on this website takes you straight into your BT e mails, yet the latest and greatest new Thunderbird (and BT-Yahoo) cannot!!
The rest of the web tells us our settings are wrong but this is plainly neither correct nor the solution! Anybody with better ideas or the correct remedy?
Hi. Welcome to the forums.
I personally use Thunderbird, Windows 7 ultimate and have no problems with email.
I've never let TB setup the email account, as it normally gets most things wrong - particularly port settings. Check the port in the Server Settings to make sure it's 110, and that the security options as None and Password, transmitted insecurely

  • Can't check off reminders, get error server responded with "400" to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation

    Hi -
    I upgraded to Lion last week and started having this issue when i tick off a completed task/reminder from iCal
    "The server responded with “400” to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation"
    Does any one know what is causing the error message?  I went back to system preferences, the server settings and server path are all correct and this was working fine before the upgrade....
    Also, is the setting of tasks from the Notes pages in Apple Mail just completely gone? 
    Thanks for the help!

    No help  in here?

  • I am getting the error "server responded with an error" with respect to Calendar.

    The request "name of appointment" in "medical" in account "iCloud" failed.  400 to operation CalDAVUploadDropBoxFileQueuecableoperation".  How do I fix this error?  Nothing I am doing is removing it.

    I'm assuming that you mean the ExportPDF service.  How do you access it: from Adobe Reader, or directly on the https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf website?  Does the error occur in both instances?
    I will move your post to the appropriate forum, but since this is the Adobe shutdown week, you may not get an immediate answer.

  • Ical server responds with an error

    I have a MacBook Pro and I have an Ical error "server responds with an error" and cannot make it stop popping up

    Sorry, no help there. Ical does not stay open long enough to do anything with. All it does is crash and apologise and say it will notify Apple.
    Guess I will just delete it altogether and use google calendar.

  • Error occurred with the POP3 mail server

    When I first launch my email icon the following error pops up: An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server mail.midland-webhosting.com responded
    What can I do so that I can access my email? Thanks!

    Ok I will write lots and lots.
    The mail server responded what is that question. You posted what looks like half the error message. So like you I do not understand. Those message have a second half that explains what the problem is.

  • Error (0x8004210E) The server responded: -ERR [IN-...

    On one of my sub accounts I cannot receive any POP3 emails and get the Outlook message:
    " Receiving' reported error (0x8004210E) : 'Your mailbox is temporarily unavailable because another e-mail message is being delivered to it or another mail application is accessing it.  The server responded: -ERR [IN-USE] maildrop busy."
    There is no other device (of mine) accessing the account, sending mail is OK, and webmail works. It is not the settings as all my other subaccounts work and it is not a password issue as webmail works.
    What is wrong?

    If you do a Google search, its a common problem, typically

  • "The server responded: 550 5.3.4 Requested" error with Outlook 2010 SP1

    Hi Balubeto,
    This error occurring because your account has blocked and in such scenario, you should firstly contact to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Also check and use the accurate

  • "The Server Responded With An Error"

    Y'day I was pasting details of a reserv into ICAL.  it was perhaps too much data.  As soon as I clicked to paste, I got msg "The Server Responded With An Error" & below that was the info I was copying into my calendar.  Then calendar froze.  Then "Force Quit", then reopen Ical & the same msg appears and frozen.  I attempted to drag the msg to trash to no avail.  I rebooted computer.  Everything else is working on my MacBookPro.  I do NOT have Lion.  Thks

    That sounds like something went wrong in the database the governs syncing.
    Restore from your backup to restore your calendar.
    Reset your sync history: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/3.1/en/9247.html and then follow the steps:
    Go into iCal > Preferences > Accounts and delete the MobileMe account from here.
    If you are using it you can then re-add it and be careful to enter in the correct name and password.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.

    I added a reminder in iCal and it froze up.  The error message I am receiving is:The server responded with an error.  The application then locks up and I can't find out how to resolve the issue.

    Check the parameters in your email account against what is recommended by your email provider.

    Have you contacted the support contact at your email provider?

  • Mac 10.6.8 ical "server responded with an error" endless loop

    I get an endless loop. "The Server Responded with an Error "--click OK. Next window "The Server Respnded with an Error"--whether click "go offline" or "return to server" takes me back to first window, ad infinitum. Can't change anything on calendar; cannot access ical Preferences. basically cannot do anything except Force Quit, whether logged into my account or my wife's [registered to my wife's yahoo! email].
    Also cannot synch calendars now between imac, iphone, and ipad like we could in beginning. Using 10.6.8 because some of my peripherals not compatible with later.
    This problem just started a couple of days ago [the server problem freezing the calendar, it hasn't been working properly for awhile and the calendar synch was lost when a friend upgraded the iphone software.]
    What can I do to restore 1] the functionality of the ical? and 2] synching the imac, ipad, and iphone icals?

    I read another response to a similar question posted a couple of years ago. I turned off the Wifi, restarted iCal offline, and that eliminated the message. However, as soon as I turned on the Wifi the message again appeared, the app froze requiring a Force Quit, and the game is still afoot. NO SOLUTIONS ANYONE?

  • Suppress the pop-up box in iCal when "The server responded with an error"

    So there are tons of questions already on this site about this pop-up error in iCal when trying to connect to Google calendars or MobileMe calendars. My issue is that the connection is fine 90% of the time, but every now and then the connection fails (it checks every 5 minutes) and I get this pop-up.
    Now in a perfect world, this error would not result in a pop-up that demands my immediate attention, but would fail silently and simply try again 5 minutes later. Normally Apple's software design is sensible and would do things this way, so I'm totally confused why they think a pop-up (and bouncing dock icon) is anything but annoying, especially when I know it's not a big deal and will probably connect successfully next time.
    Soooo... is there a top-secret way I can suppress this pop-up box? It is one of those things that can drive one insane. I even switched to BusyCal for a while but decided it wasn't quite worth $50 just to be rid of the pop-up.

    Is this the pop-up you get?
    The request for account “[email protected]” failed.
    The server responded with
    “HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway”
    to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
    I've never seen it before but am getting it this evening (UK time). Also if I try to log in to MMe Calendar it's not logging in but going to 'find my iPhone' like it did when Mail was mucking about a few weeks back.

    This information, which I highlighted in red, shows up on a separate page from and above the calendar page, and is half the width of the standard page; and repeats all the three times on the page. I cannot close ical without force quitting. I cannot access ical preferences as suggested in another answer to a similar problem, because the "separate page" remains dominant. I tried ridding the computer of the calendar plist, that did not work. I cannot discard ical because the computer will not allow me to trash. I am really befuddled.
    Fortunately, it only affects ical on my MacBook Pro running 10.9.2- it has not affected my iPad or iPhone, both running ios 7.2... they seem to be syncing with iCloud correctly. Anyone had this animal in their zoo lately?
