This is kinda off-topic but I was quite surprised when I realized that since I changed my DNS from OpenDNS to level3 ALL the attacks logged by my Netgear router went away! Not one in the last 25 days. Anyone care to comment?

Wow, didn’t realize most of us are retired. Good survey.

My only concern with imap is how do you know TB has downloaded a copy of every email in every on-line folder. In activity manager I always see some items that seem to get stuck synchronizing folders, especially gmail. How can I force TB  to do this reliably?

I agree and have switched to imap also (mostly). At first I was concerned about accessing saved Mail folders when off line but hasn’t seemed to be an issue so far.

I always set third to leave email on the server for pop accounts. Imap does this automatically.

So the fix for me was to completely uninstall 102.2 and re-install 91.3. Lucky IO have an up to date backup of all me email files. I backup religiously!

Seems the AOL POP issue is NOT just me:

yes, I’ve got these in the past. Doesn’t even go through the process of getting one. Used to pop up a browser window, I’d log into the account, then would ask if I authorized Tbird access. I’d click yes and all is well. DOESN’T ask anymore, just the “we don’t support this authentication method”. Did tbird remove this process in 102? How do I find out?

Thanks,I’ll try this but the issue is I have several old “verizon” email access that have been working through thunderbird and AOL for years until third updated to 102.2. Another computer with v91 still works fine.  And I getting an error when trying to roll back third. Apparently they’ve modified the storage and it won’t work with older versions. BAD tbird!

no luck. says “server does not support selected authentication method”, but it still works fine on V91 at a different computer.

I got 102.2.0 and it broke connections with AOL POP accounts. When I tried to go back to 91 it said I couldn’t because my stored email format was upgraded. Am I stuck now?

I’m happy with Lastpass

My understanding is different ports are used by the router to funnel through the one ip address I get from my ISP. Can someone confirm?

I’m betting you’ve right as tracers bounced all over the place. Wish I’d tried it on my laptop which didn’t have the issue. Still strange why only one computer had the issue. Even flushed dns cache and changed dns.

I feel your pain. Luck my issue disappeared as quick as it started. Hope yours does too.
