    Hurray! It seems to be working! Maybe the Thunderbird update and the
    port change solved the whole problem....

    Fwiw, my TBird screwup now seems to be that the first Usenet-post I send
    (after, say, an hour's interval) gets lost ...i.e., though it appears in
    my 'sent' folder, it doesn't reach Usenet and must be re-sent.

    That happened to me too, at first, but then Thunderbird got worse
    behavior of pretending to load posts when it wasn't or not letting
    me see the complete newsgroups list.




    I've been having nothing but problems with Thunderbird myself and it's
    only gotten worse over the past several days.

    Since I upgraded to the latest version it has been refusing to send
    posts. I often have to save for later to get it to send. Then on
    Saturday it suddenly demanded that I enter a username and password in
    order to post.

    That was the server, not Tbird.
