Few days ago my email stopped as failed to log in to my service provider(i.e. videotron.com). Went over provider and checked everything and he concluded issue was with Thunderbird.How can I fix without losing all my stored emails messages. Thanks.

If you updated Thunderbird then it is possible that your firewall may not be recognising the updated verion.

Example: I use Norton Anti-Virus/Firewall. Sometimes, after an update, Norton still thinks it can allow only the previous version. I then have to close Thunderbird and access Norton. Settings > Network > Smart Firewall > Program Rules Locate Thunderbird and set to 'Allow' On one occassion, I have had to block, ok and then reset to Allow.

If you use another Firewall/Anti-virus program, then there will be similar settings. So check this first.

Thanks for your comments. I am using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Not sure how to get to same steps as Norton. But ran another update of Malwarebytes and guess what??...... my email started working and received all my emails for last 3 days. Thanks for your help.
