Without so much as a move on my part, Centurylink has stopped sending me my email.No changes in months on my end..

Should I try and wait them out, or start bitching right away

Try signing in online first, just to be sure nothing is broken with your email account:
http://webmail.centurylink.net/

If all your emails are there, then something must be up with Thunderbird. You may have to remove and re-add your CenturyLink email to Thunderbird again.
 
My message reads:
"Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server pop.centurylink.net responded: internal server error"

I'll try and see what's up online Thank you.
 
Centurylink is useless. They don't know me never heard of me and anyone who might help me are 9 to 5. I'll try tomorrow
 
Did the webmail work as a temporary workaround?

Here are the POP/SMTP settings:

Domains:
centurylink.net

Incoming ServerPOP: pop.centurylink.net, Port:995, Security:SSL
IMAP: mail.centurylink.net, Port:993, Security:SSL

Outgoing Server

SMTP: smtp.centurylink.net, Port 587 TLS if available

Username

Full Email Address

Yes, but if any of their POP/SMTP settings have changed, then it wouldn't know you.
 
Well that was easy. I talked to 15 agents, tried the same thing a dozen times and then they fixed what they broke. only took for 1 pm to 9 pm. only had to start all over again 7 times.

Don't mind me I'm frazzled! LOL

They ban me for spamming. I told them I didn't spam they said Ok and spent half a day un spamming banning me.

Century Link is the very bestest local Telco there is. $~75 per month for a landline from them. $90 per month for allegedly 100 Mbps Down and 6.5 Mbps Up from my only available cable provider. Such a deal!!!

They banned you for spamming? How in heck does a private party do that?
 
Judging from the message I received when it went tits up, I think their server screwed up and they were just bull shiting me.A half a day to reverse a ban?

How many do they ban a day? Then reversing it just because I said I wasn't a spmmer??
 
What the??? SPAMMING?
Was your email hi-jacked or something?
You may want to change your password immediately.

Sorry you had to go through all of that with support. Once every 10 years isn't bad. ;)
 
If it was Hijacked, it was hijacked from the Server/ And your right once in 10 years aint bad at all.
