It's using a local dnsmasq server for caching, akin to what windoze does,
only it uses an external service and not hidden behind the scenes. You can
remove dnsmasq, usually at least, and resolve direct against your dns
servers, I usually start by removing the package, as I've had enough issues
wit
I should mention too resolve.conf is mostly for DNS of your host machine.
If resolve.conf was screwed up. You wouldn't be able to type in google.com
into your browser, unless you typed out the server's ip address.

ping command won't mean anything sometimes. Some servers can have those
ping protocols blocked for security/performance reasons. After running a
quick netcat command to the port 143, I get data responded. Are you sure
you configured Thunderbird correctly?

Today I noticed a problem when I use Thunderbird to check my email on my
Kubuntu 18.04 box. I got the following error in Thunderbird: Failed to
connect to imap.comcast.net However it will connect to
imap.comcast.net. I also couldn't ping imap.comcast.net.
