Hi, I am Cristian Grava. I am using Thunderbird since a long time ago but since yesterday I didn't receive anymore my messages from yahoo (I tried with gmail but I have the same problem). I am using a pop.mail.yahoo.com, with port 995, SSL/TLS as I used since a long time ago. The status of Thunderbird is "Connected to pop.mail.yahoo.com ..." but nothing happens (usually ask me to introduce my password and after that downloads the messages but now nothing). Please help me to solve the problem. Thank you and have a nice day, Cristian Grava

My anti-virus software is ESET Nod32 Antivirus. The troubleshooting information is in Romanian because I'm using Thunderbird in Romanian. I hope that you can handle it:

Same problem up in Canada - ESET + Thunderbird + POP = Email dead.

I added an exclusion in ESET (Internet / Email Scanner) to exclude thunderbird.exe and now email is flowing again.

Thunderbird Versiune: 38.5.0

Time to upgrade? The latest release version is 78.5.1. https://www.thunderbird.net/

My anti-virus software is ESET Nod32 Antivirus.

According to ESET forums, you should temporarily disable SSL filtering until they solve the problem per https://support.eset.com/en/kb3126-disable-ssl-filtering-in-eset-windows-products?ref=esf

The problem is being reported by dozens of users. https://forum.eset.com/topic/26517-problems-with-thunderbird-and-imaps/ https://forum.eset.com/discover/

The version I'm using is the last one in Romanian ("Thunderbird is up to date").

I solved the problem creating another new account in Thunderbird using the same settings as in my account (pop.mail.yahoo.com, with port 995, SSL/TLS) using the same user name and I noticed that for this new account everything works very good. Then I tried with my old account and I noticed that works very good too and after that I deleted the new accont and everything works very good.

Thank you for your good intentions.
