I kept getting alerts to up date t-bird and finally did. My t-bird IS my only business e-mail. It's been unusable for 2 weeks and is costing me most of my income due to not being able to send files or receive feedback and request. Within mere seconds of opening t-bird - a blue spinning circle appears and the (X) in the upper right corner turns RED. That red (X) is the ONLY item I can "click" that works. ** As soon as the (window) appears saying t-bird "isn't responding" it gives me the option to "wait" or to close out. I'm NOT technically talented nor do I possess any knowledge of e-mail programs to lean on. The inability to use t-bird is as bad as a baseball pitcher having his arm amputated, except he's got money and I don't. This disaster is causing me to be gravewly worried foreclosure will certainly come - due to not being able to provide for my family. I have to send information to prospects that are in the market for my products. **Then prospects get very mad because they don't receive (what I thought I could send using my G mail) **G mail now has a notification in (RED) that says there is an error. ** It says NO e-mails have been received since 9/27 even though it's October 1st and I HAVE received a few e-mails, but no where near the norm for my g-mail account. ** T-Bird will NOT function long enough to allow me to delete sent mail which contains heavy data that could be contributing to my problem.

• • My computer is custom built and probably has different malware and 'set-ups" that differ from the norm. The man that "built" the computer" is a well known highly respected man who specializes in the technical area of computers. He has been 100% unavailable but DID remote to try and fix it. Nothing he's tried from miles away (by remote) has helped, period. I've never felt so helpless. I can't delete a bunch of e-mails (I was tod I had to) because the t-bird program quits almost as soon as I open it and won't allow any mouse click to have any affect. The Blue Circle rules my life and is ruining it too. ** any guidance will tickle me to no end, much less advice that allows me to fix the E MAIL

thanks a billion!! From "littlefloyd" ****PS -due to Verizon and a totally screwed up cellphone, I had to call Time Warner and change my PASSWORD for the e-mail address I use on t-bird, but, it malfunctioned BEFORE I got the new password for time warner e-mail.
