I am marking this thread closed with a solution in one of the many other threads you have created. Please stick to one. I suggest this one. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/990748#answer-556205

We have uninstalled Thunderbird and install it again several times in the past days with no success

Re-installing TB seldom solves problems, because the problem is in the profile most of the time.

In the past 2 weeks Thunderbird started working only for few hours and we have the same problem again.

That pretty much sounds like a network problem. Verify your Internet connection.

I turned of bot windows firewall and BitDefender firewall

You must not run two firewalls on the same computer.

I remember that I choose not to install Microsoft updates ever.

That's a very bad idea.

I am trying to add Gmail and AOL accounts in Thunderbird.

There already is a Gmail account set-up according to your Troubleshooting Information.

Get rid of this extensions.

The windows 8.1 regular firewall is active. Also i have Bit defender antivirus that probably has his own firewall but i just let the BitDefender as a default installation. I mean that's how I worked for many years now. Is nothing different. I stopped each firewall and the problem with Thunderbird is not solved.

Yes, there is a gmail account at this time in Thunderbird as I had the chance to add it in the single day that Thunderbird worked in the past month. It was a day when I just tried Thunderbird and it was active. was working, but just for few hours.

reporter has gone to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/990748#answer-556205 so I'm closing this topic.

Anyone still seeing this problem should Start *Windows'* safe mode with networking enabled - win8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode - win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode - XP http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx

Still In Windows safe mode, start thunderbird in safe mode - http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/safe-mode

If problem does not go away then please create a new topic.
