I was driven to switch to the Gmail web interface. I can make it work,
but I think I would still prefer Thunderbird.


But anyway, is anyone else using Thunderbird, and never having any
lost messages at all?
If so, is your email provider something other than Gmail, GMX, or
Microsoft? (Microsoft meaning Hotmail, Outlook.com, etc.)

Thuderbird + btinternet - though that's not much use for Missouri!  At
work I use Thunderbird + gmail and cannot say I've ever suffered from
dropped emails - yet!



Hi Karlin,

A little while back I had made a thread where I was having issues sending mail to the list via Thunderbird (and Nabble directly) - I contacted the mailing list admin and received some helpful advice.

In addition to only *attaching* files (vs. drag/drop images inline, which can be an overload for certain recipients), I also made one important change that may help you as it helped me. (see attached)

I changed the way Google *authenticated* my account and the problem immediately was resolved. I now use Oath instead of a "normal" password. It doesn't require any extra work on your end other than an initial setup, but it's very easy.

Hope this helps you too.
