Bug Description

Whenever my network connection is interrupted because of trouble with wifi or vpn, after it is restored, thunderbird shows a progress bar for hours/ever, suggesting it is trying to connect to my nntp server. There doesn't seem to be a way to show or kill connection attempts, so the only way to get thunderbird back in a useful state is to restart it. This is extremely annoying.
