Hi, I am stuck with the following Thunderbird issue.
I created new anon-whonix AppVM where I would like to have my new email
account in Thunderbord, but whatever I do, I get “Could not connect to
server xxx connection was refused” immediately after clicking the Get
Messages. At the same time, TB can nicely connect to the network from
that AppVM.
Thunderbird in older anon-whonix AppVMs are connecting just ok. The
settings are precisely the same in both - the old and new anon-whonix.
The template is the same whonix-ws-15.
I tried to create anon-whonix through salt or directly from the Qube
Manager with Create a new qube, but still the same issue.
Any idea how to solve this?
From your new anon-whonix AppVM, test using a different app like regular
Firefox and see if it can connect to the Internet. Also, verify its
NetVM is set to sys-whonix.
As I mention, TB in the anon-whonix AppVM is able to connect to the
internet, except Thunderbird. All email account settings are ok. The
same settings are working in the old anon-whonix AppVM just well.
I had a similar issue recently with anon-whonix Thunderbird refusing to connect to the internet. I simply changed the manual proxy settings (Preferences>Network & Disk Space>Connection Settings) from the default of 127.0.0.1 port 9102 to 127.0.0.1 port 9150, which restored the connection.

This did the trick. Funny the SOCKS Host was by default set in
Thunderbird to 127.0.0.1. I spoke with the whonix chat support and the
SOCKS Host should be (in the anon-whonix) set to 10.152.152.10, Port
9102. Now everything is working.
Why my default Thunderbird SOCKS Host setting was set to 127.0.0.1 I
don't know.
