hangs while running.

XP with last update.

All email accounts work OK. I have no news groups set up.

I get a message - sending email failed. I didn't try and send an email! I get a message - check all news and email account settings!

Is Thunderbird still viable on XP?

Have checked for malware +s of course.

Update 18/02/15 "Alan Builder" I have run Thunderfix!

Ok I have 12 email profiles, most with google, one with my ISP one with an independent and one hosted on my server. All receive but not one will send!

I am not blocked by my ISP as my Android pad can send on the account.

I now need to stop the program Thunderbird as there are 2700 emails to download and they take 2 minutes each. The system is busy as a lot of the google accounts try and forward emails, as the system is not sending I am locked out so I can't even select it to work off line.

Thus I deduce I need to change a line in the program code and then restart. But which line and what code?

Please help, desperate, no hair left!
