Liz, I have an issue with my emails since the new Thunderbird update, however I did not lose any emails or accounts. My issue is that emails no longer download to Thunderbird from the server. Nothing since Sept. 13, 2020. I tried the resolution suggested (security.tls.version etc), but that did not solve the problem. Thunderbird did change the scrolling to appear that it was going to download my emails, but after waiting for 15 minutes, nothing changed. Any further suggestions? Is this an issue that Hughesnet is working on? ... View more

I am also having email issues. Since Sept. 13, 2020, I am unable to download/receive/send emails to my Thunderbird email program. I have to access my emails via the server, and not all emails are showing up. My insurance company has been trying for 2 days to send me a form to sign and return and none are getting through. Hughesnet first claimed the issues is NOT with their server, then another tech support (also with a hispanic name) said they are "working on the problem" and admits it's a Hughesnet issue. So, which email from two different tech support guys is the truth? And WHEN will the problem be FIXED, no matter whose fault it is? ... View more

Since I consider you a valued and a person whose advise I trust, I am asking if you have a trusted download link for the status meter v 6.2.0  for 64 bit. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and have had no issues until about 4 days ago when I booted up and found the status meter missing, plus a cute little black circle with an explanation point in it on my toolbar. The notice tells me "Modem not available attempting to connect". This is odd, considering I am connected and can surf the net and get my emails etc.  The only other thing that happened at the same time is that my own Facebook page will not load unless I shut off my Avast anti-virus.  These things must all be connected to some internal issue, but I am too ignorant to diagnose the problem.  I can work around the FB failure by just shutting down Avast, however I need to get my status meter back and am unable to find the download file that I thought I had saved.  The newer status meter is totally unworkable on my computer and only the version 6.2.0 will work at all.  I expect you have that download file saved somewhere and would hope you will be kind enough to share it with me either here or on my Facebook page.  (Sally Thomas) I thank you in advance for any kindness and possible advise you can provide.   ...

I am having the same issue. I "lost" the old status meter download, and the new one never did work on my system. Now I have not only lost the only status meter that worked for me, but now I have a black symbol that tells me I am not connected to the modem...yet I actually am online.  I am getting really fed up with Hughesnet and their silly games when all I want is promised value for my money.  Promises never have been fulfilled, but I put up with a lot of things because I have no choice where I live and even iffy service is better than none...except I should also be allowed to pay "iffy" as well.  ...

I was unable to install the "new" meter due to some error flag that did not make sense. So, I uninstalled it, re-installed the old, reliable meter and now every time I turn on my computer I get that stupid notice that an "update is available". I can't find a way to get rid of that flag.  My son has the same issue on his laptop. He also got the same error code when trying to install the new meter, so it's obviously not the fault of my computer.  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, my son is running Windows 8.1 on his laptop. ...

Thanks Hughesnet for the heads-up via an email to me today.  I NEVER click links within emails I get, but it's still nice and helpful to receive warnings like this from Hughesnet. ... View more
