Delete the account and then create a new
one. Be VERY careful what you type in the "user
name" and logon password boxes.
I told you before to check the linked forum,
below, for Thunderbird help.....very good support
site.

g'day ed,

tell you the truth i have looked many times for such a box and i can't
find one in options/setup.

There is no password box in the setup options. The first time you
attempt to access the account, you will get a dialog window asking you
for your password. The window also has a choice to "save the password"
rather than make you type it with each access.

You can see if you've saved a password at:
Tools > Options > Privacy > Passwords tab
click the "Edit Saved Passwords" button for details

According to the radar, it should be snowing here as well. But it is
not. The weatherguessers have been saying "10:00PM" all day...

The cable company screwed up, and won't be doing the installation until
after Christmas, so now the actual moving day is in limbo. :-(

Millions of others are using it, so the answer is still some sort of
incorrect setting on your computer.

Do you know of any computer gurus near to you who could stop by and help
you with the setup? Remember, the settings are going to be the same as
you have used in Outlook Express.

You don't have a firewall of some sort blocking
Thunderbird, do you?
