Most likely an internet problem, I just did a dnf update on that
computer without a hitch?

Eight years ago wildblue had their own mail system, five or six years
ago they switched to Google Mail and we were required configure
Thunderbird to address the gmail servers, ie: pop.googlemail.com to
receive mail, and their smtp to send.
.
ok. you need to contact gmail.com and ask them how you can go about
regaining access to your emails.
gaagle should have given wildblue enough time to notified their customers
that gmail service was ending so wildblue customers could pull their
emails off gmail server.
such crap is why i like small independent isp's that allow customers to
use ftp connection to their server directory.

Yes

The mail could be accessed with a browser on googles web mail page but
I never used that except to look through the spam they collected when I
thought something was missing and my have been diverted as spam.

thanks to bellsouth/at&t turning email over to yuckahoo, i had to set my
email configs on server so that i pull emails from spam folder and not
delete emails.
every day i have to log on to yuckahoo and mark good emails that are in
spam folder as not spam in hopes that yuckahoo server would learn what
is and is not spam. i also mark as spam what yuckahoo thinks is good.
it is a loosing battle.
what is worse is that they no longer offer ability to certify email
senders as not being spam.
even worse is fact that yuckahoo does a lot of bouncing of my support
list emails. every day i get threads without original post and a lot
of 're:' post get bounced to that i only know what a solution is is
if the op replies to entire post showing solution.

Not sure how I would go about doing that but I am open to suggestions.

set up one of your servers to pull all emails. set filters to move emails
to various folders by recipient, by sender, as in subscribed list, etc.
for each user/recipient, mount the server drive and path to the above
folder directories on user/recipient system. link the directories to
the thunderbird "Mail/Local Folders" subfolder.

Essentially I have been transferring "Mail" between Thunderbird on one
computer to Thunderbird on others via my nsf server, /mnt/HOME1/MAIL,
being available to two others. It also serves as an archive of sorts for
all the mail. And it simplifies configuring Thunderbird since it brings
in the various filters, etc.
.
by soft linking nsf directories into "Mail/Local Folder" path, you can
eliminate having to do so manually.

That would be another recurring cost, I already pay Viasat a lot for
what I have ...
.
maybe we need to get a group together of linux users that are having email
server problems and jointly set up on a host our own site and email server
so we can start to enjoy emails again. :-)
