    <p>The link you provided put me on the right track.  At this url
      there are three answers to the question how to disable
      systemd-resolved in Ubuntu 17.04.  The first answer says it also
      works for Ubuntu 18.04.  The instructions in the first answer
      fixed the problem for me.</p>

          noticed a problem when I use Thunderbird to check my email on
          my <br>
          Kubuntu 18.04 box.  I got  the following error in Thunderbird:

            target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">imap.comcast.net</a>

          delboy@ladmo:~$<br>
          <br>
          In Network manager I have  the following DNS servers in this
          order:  <br>
          192.168.1.4 192.168.1.1, 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4.  I found this in
          /etc/resolv.conf<br>
          <br>
          # Generated by NetworkManager<br>
          nameserver 127.0.0.53<br>
          <br>
          If I change 127.0.0.53 to one of the DNS servers I have in
          Network <br>
          Manager, Thunderbird works again, but I'm not able to ping <br>
          <a href="http://imap.comcast.net" rel="noreferrer"
            target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">imap.comcast.net</a>.
          I get the same error I mentioned earlier.  I really <br>
          don't care if I can ping it or not as long as Thunderbird can
          connect to <br>
          it.   However when I reboot or restart Network Manager,
          resolv.conf goes <br>
          back to 127.0.0.3.<br>
          <br>
          Is there some bug with Network Manager or has comcast manged
          to screw up <br>
          something?<br>
          <br>
          thanks<br>
