It just failed to connect. Now however the fault has changed and it asks for my password, but does not accept it. I have contacted eternal-september, and tried again with the password they sent. Hm. will have another stab at it.

I have discover more, it seems there is a known problem with Thunderbird, this is supposed to have been overcome with the latest version, however it is still poorly for me. I will continue to investigate.

It has started working, of its own accord. Seems that it is a Thunderbird problem, and I was so happy with Thunder bird. Where do I go next?  :mad:
