I'm using SM 2.46 on Debian Jessie.
With news.mozilla.org highlighted and expanded, I clicked on "Get Msgs".
The response was "Connection Refused".
That seemed strange as I'd been online for over an hour reading email
and browsing the web.
I immediately clicked "Get Msgs" and had no problem connecting.
I connect to the internet via the cell network using a T-mobile Z-915
HotSpot (using the USB connection *NOT* WiFi).
Previous incidents of losing cell connectivity generate a different
message IIRC and will not reconnect until a power off/on cycle of the
Z-915.
I post in case this is a symptom of possible problem with the
news.mozilla.org servers.
I just got a similar (identical????) message when reading posts on
news.supernews.com . The semantic content of the error message was
"Connection Refused". I cannot say if was the same graphic or the
identical text.
There were significant differences in the sequence of events.
I began with news.supernews.com collapsed.
Expanding it triggered a "get messages" sequence as expected.
I selected comp.lang.forth whose View was "Unread".
There being no interesting threads, I chose "Mark Newsgroup Read".
I proceeded to comp.dsp whose View was set to one of my custom views.
I changed to Unread to reduce clutter and read all the unread messages
which were of a single thread.
Wishing to comment on the overall thread, I changed View to "All" to
display the 1st message of the thread.
Clicking on that message triggered the error report.
I chose another group randomly and read messages without problems.
Changing back to comp.dsp I was able to read the "offending" message.
Do I have an OS, SM, or connection issue?
As the problem is infrequent and intermittent, is there any way to tell?
TIA
