I can report a problem with Ubuntu 14.04 (x64, Mate desktop) which is
similar as (but not identical to)  what was described initially (bug
description, or, say, posting #0, and first 20 postings relative to
Ubuntu 10.04. Thunderbird version is 31.6.0, and the package is
thunderbird 1:31.6.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.

When waking up from a long sleep/standby generated by closing the laptop
lid, all looks fine, including reading messages, until I try to send a
message (a new one, a response to or a forward from an old one) or even
if I try to save a draft (this being true even if the draft is set to be
saved in the local folder).

I get an error message telling that there was an error, and I should
check my account parameters. This happens with all my accounts (which
are all IMAPs). The only resort is to close Thunderbird and restart it,
in which case the problem disappears. But the work is lost, except if
the message to be sent or saved has been exported to an html file, which
allows to salvage the lost message by starting all over but not from
scratch since the html file is there, to copy from and paste into the
message.

I tried the "working offline" followed by "work online" solution
described elsewhere, to no avail.

 It looks like a persistent problem, regardless of distro version.

I do not think this should be classified as "medium", as far as this bug
is an excellent incentive to switch to other email clients.

Title:
  Thunderbird complains there is no connection on resume from suspend,
  when there is a connection

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  When I resume from suspend, network manager quickly re-establishes a
  WiFi internet connection.  With an active connection, I try to check
  my mail with Thunderbird, but it complains that it can't connect to
  the IMAP server.  This seems to happen after longer suspend periods
  because if I try to replicate the behaviour by quickly suspending and
  resuming (suspend of a few seconds), I get no warning.
