As I noted in my post restating the problem, I believe it would be helpful if this error resulted in a pop-up when encountered by a periodic POP3 check for new mail as opposed to silently failing. It would be even more helpful if there were a way to provide you with diagnostic logs when this failure happens. This need not be default behavior, I would be happy to set some configuration flags that either exist already or might be added in a later build to accomplish this. I don't know why, but this occurring more frequently now than in the past. I am sometimes having to restart SeaMonkey more than once per day to address this problem. I also find it interesting that it appears the behavior is a bit different with Thunderbird, as in the restated thread someone noted that the problem would clear itself the next time around where that does not appear to be the case with SeaMonkey. Thank you again for your work in support of SeaMonkey. I am happy to do whatever I can to assist you in resolving issues with the package. May you find the time and perhaps additional helpers to assist with support of SeaMonkey.
