I am running Thunderbird 3.0.5 under Linux Mint 9 (Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" based). There is no "options" item under "tools" or anywhere else that I can find. If there is a way to view or set the connection timeout through the GUI I can't find it. Is it in a config file somewhere? I'm poking around under ~/.thunderbird but I don't see it anywhere.
I think that the problem may be that the POP server process isn't running. The status is red in the status bar for POP and SMTP also. When I right click and choose "enable POP server" it doesn't appear to do anything. I do see this error on the Error Console when I attempt to start it: "nsPOPConnectionManager: Start : Exception : NS_ERROR_FAILURE. Error message: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIServerSocket.init] 52"
