Which server are you using? Is your little bubble in the lower right corner green or red? If its red, click it, unselect the select server automatically and choose a server.

The bubble is green
I am currently connected to: electrum.snipanet.com

But I already tried to restart my electrum client many times and connect and reconnect to several servers. All server give the SERVER DID NOT ANSWER error

Finally after two hours trying one transaction was accepted at server electrum.no-ip.org

I use TOR to connect, could that be the reason?

Yeah, it is possible that the connection through TOR is going too slowly which is causing a timeout to the electrum server. There may also be some issues with connections due to firewalls in place or other issues that could be interfering, but if it eventually worked I'm guessing it was more related to connection speed.

When using TOR you need to specify the correct port in order for you not having problems with the servers. For TOR itself the port is 9050 while for TOR BROWSER BUNDLE (which the majority of the users use) the port number is 9150 . Once these ports are correctly configured you will never have problems using Electrum via TOR.

Go to Wallet/Network/Socks5 then under proxy enter the IP 127.0.0.1 and port 9150 (since I am assuming you use Tor Browser Bundle)

Restart Electrum wallet in order for settings to take effect.

The problem is happening today again. It is highly annoying. I have to wait for hours until I can send a transaction, I get the server did not respond message all the time.

[NewBeans]

Can confirm, it's happening to me today also.

[ThomasV]

can you confirm that you are using tor too?

Today smooth connection and no problems sending btc.
I did not change anything, everything exactly the same, some days no problems, other days major problems with servers not responding. My internet connection is perfect so that is not the issue.
