I have been having problems with my main e-mail account for weeks, wouldn't send or forward mail. Now I cannot receive or send mail. Says invalid user name or password. Talked to tech at Time Warner, couldn't find problem, they changed it to mail.twc.com, still not working. I can get mu e-mail through TWC web mail, but I don't like using that. Mail also comes in on my tablet, so there is a problem with thunderbird somewhere. Can you help?
