Unable to connect

The connection was refused when attempting to contact live.mozillamessaging.com. 

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Thunderbird is permitted to access the Web.
