I was just suggesting that you should find out where the problem lies. It's
either a configuration issue in Thunderbird, which is probably buried
somewhere in the settings or in an INI file, or a network/OS problem (more
likely, since you said they're configured identically).
If you can't ping and/or connect manually using Telnet when you are having
errors on the "bad" machine, the problem is not in Thunderbird, but
somewhere else. On the other hand, if ping and Telnet are fine, the problem
is buried somewhere in Thunderbird. I know it won't solve the problem, but
it will at least help narrow your focus.
