Suddenly, thunderbird doesn't connect to remote server when i click "get messages".
Linux (ubuntu studio), 64 bit. Suddenly, thunderbird doesn't connect to remote server when i click "get messages". It just says "(account name): Connected to (mail server)" for a second or two at the bottom, then nothing. In the server logs, i get:
popa3d[6408]: Didn't attempt authentication
Trying to get my e-mail also seems to cause a bunch of these errors on the server:
(server) kernel: [18295.775491] lockd: cannot monitor laptop
where "laptop" is the client machine.
The problem seems to be caused by my mailbox files (Inbox and Inbox.msf) - when i create a clean ~/.thunderbird directory, i can get my e-mails, but when i place my mailbox files in this account's Mail directory, the problem comes back. Even if i place it as another name, and not Inbox.

I should add the following information:
- Neither "safe mode" or rebuilding the global-messages-db.sqlite file fixes the problem. - Seamonkey has no problems with my Inbox and Inbox.msf file. - The Inbox and Inbox.msf files are symlinks to files on a NFS filesystem. - Downgrading to an earlier version of thunderbird doesn't fix the problem. - Even if i remove the mail file from an account, the problem persists. - I confirmed that i can telnet to the server on the pop3 port and login with the raw protocol.
The above mentioned lockd errors make me think this is a NFS related error, but if that's the case, why is seamonkey able to read my Inbox file without problems but not thunderbird?

Lets just stick with real files hey.
If you put real inbox file in there you have no issues am I correct? You put i Symlinks and it does not work?
Might I suggest you point Thunderbird to the location of the real files. Account settings > Server settings and navigate/ browse to the "new" local directory you wish to use.
Of course if yous sharing between users or operating systems you might want to just relocate the entire profile.
