Help with "negative vibes"

[FC]

I'm having probs with TB and a "negative vibes" message. Everything worked
fine with my Hotmail & 2 MSN accounts... an update installed and Hotmail
would continue to time out after 2-5 messages d/l-ing. I recreated the acct
several times... didn't work... after a couple more updates it started
working. Another update installed and I get "negative vibes" error regarding
my password on my MSN acct's (the same password that works when I chk my
email through my browser and it works) ... after re-creating several times I
still get the neg vibes msg. I'm running Vista Home Prem on a new HP
notebookAny help... advice... fix?? Thanks!! (the_...@hotmail.com)

I'm having the same problem with Yahoo! Mail. Negative vibes from
localhost. None of the replies to your message explain the fix, as far
as I can tell.

My Yahoo Mail is also no longer working as of about the 20th?
(august). I get the following error on a pop-up box:

The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message.
Mail server localhost responded:
negative vibes from <myaccount>@yahoo.com

I have the latest webmail and webmail - Yahoo extensions. They've
been working fine for weeks.

I'm having the same exact problem as of monday

Same problem here. Just started using TB a couple weeks ago with my
Sandisk U3 flash drive. Never have got Hotmail to work but Yahoo was
working until yesterday. I have all the latest updates.

I am having the exact same problem with Hotmail. It started a few
days ago -- "mail server localhost responded: negative lives from
xx...@Hotmail.com. I thought it was an issue with my version of
Thunderbird, as I was using 1.5. I upgraded to version 2.0.6, and
updated the Web Mail and Hotmail extensions. I tried it again. Same
thing. If I go online with Internet explorer to check the Hotmail
account, there are messages there.

Oddly, I can

else tried sending messages from Thunderbird, and see if that works?

It's been a while since I saw this problem, and my memory isn't as good
as it used to be, but I think this is what I did.

Right-click the account in the folder pane.
Under "Server Settings" check "Fetch headers only" and click OK.
Collapse and re-expand the account.
If you see a message with no subject or with a garbled subject, delete it.
Then you can go back and uncheck the "headers only" box.
That seemed to fix the problem for me.

I was using the "Live" Hotmail, and all was fine till the recent probs
started. Switching back to the "old" Hotmail and reconfiguring the
Webmail-Hotmail ext to point to that got it working again.

In Server Settings, check Fetch headers only.
Fetch the headers and delete the one with no subject or a badly garbled
subject.
Clear the Fetch headers only checkbox and you should be back in business.

Worked for me, but, of course, YMMV.
