Using ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Thunderbird as my email client. Brought my laptop with me on vacation to Germany. Thunderbird has no problem connecting and retreiving new email. But when I try to create and send email, I get An error occurred while sending mail: THe mail server sent an incorrect greeting: resomta-ch2-02v.sys.comcast.net resomta-ch2-02v.sys.comcast.net CSI IP 88.130.59.170 is not permitted to send messages.

BruceW, Yes, that led me to the resolution - change the imap server name to imap.ge.xfinity.com. Seems this issue is discussed in two threads on this forum (This and the one you linked to), on the mozilla forum, and the Ubuntu forum. So apparently it is pretty widespread, but totally off-the radar for Windblows users. (I'm semi-retired from a career in IT, and avoid Windows every chance I get - which is why my personal laptop is Ubuntu.)

Having been using Thunderbird as my email client on my Ubuntu laptop for several years with no issue. Two days ago I started getting 'Thunderbird failed to connedt to imap.comcast.net'. Cannot get new mail and cannot send mail. Web interface, and my Android show no problems.
