I can not get thunderbird to bring over email for 6 days now I get the following error everytime. (Sending of password for user .........................@verizon.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.verizon.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later.) I have tried creating a new password on the server account and restarting thunderbird with the new password . Did not help. Any Suggestions?
