Had to move to a new laptop. Had the same version of Thunderbird installed on both (older than v60), and just copied the Profile directory over. At that time, two of the four accounts would work, the other two would get stuck on showing a message in the status bar that read: "<account email> Connected to: <server name>" And then, nothing.

I figured it was something odd, so I uninstalled that version of TB, and installed the latest. Set up first email account - one that worked on the old version - and it now freezes the same as the other accounts on the old installation. (When uninstalling the old version, I DID remove both Thunderbird profiles in Roaming and Local AppData directories.

Got some logs using the log settings: `IMAP:5,LDAP:5,Mailbox:5,MailDirStore:5,MsgBiff:5,timestamp` And the log is here: https://pastebin.com/V83aiSga Essentially, it seems that it tries to connect, then immediately disconnect or give up. Specifically:

Any pointers appreciated! -Mike

Ah, based on one of the other posts that was 'suggested' - yes, my server has auto-configure enabled. However - this has happened both with and without it. (After installing the latest and NOT having the auto-config, I uninstalled TB, created my autoconfig, reinstalled TB (and removed profile directories) and then tried connecting to the same result.
