Here We Go Again… Thunderfail’s Quarterly Failure
These seems to happen every three to four months:
June 19, 2008: So Much for Thursday Thoughts…
September 8, 2008: Thunderfail strikes again!
January 9, 2009: Don’t Expect to Hear from Me by eMail for a While…
Now, April 20, and the same thing again. Thunderfail can receive mail but not send it. Mail server is fine. I can send through it using another mail program on the same computer I have Thunderfail on. So, it’s not a server issue. It’s not a computer issue. It’s a Thunderfail issue. I have not changed any settings either. And, if it’s like the last two times, it will mysteriously clear up in about a week, without me having done a single thing about it.
In the past, I tried re-installing Thunderfail and other things that were recommended, all to no effect. It just goes away after a few days. But, it is annoying and frustrating because I won’t be able to send mail through it for about a week now.
You see the pattern here? Every three to four months and Thunderfail inexplicable loses the ability to send mail. It makes no sense at all. If not for this, Thunderfail would be a good mail application. But this is just frustrating and annoying. I’ve given up on their support forums. You can’t expect much out of open source software.
I miss Eudora.
