Sure, bug catching isn't easy.

Claws is fine. I assume you are using the "old" mail account that comes with your ISP account? If so I would suggest the following. Test all possibilities like IMAP vs IMAPs and SMTP vs SMTPs. If Claws is working without issues than Thunderbird/Icedove will be the problem in the end. :-( Please open a bug at the Mozilla bugtracker with good infos around the issue and how it can reproduce, like which distribution you use and what settings you have used, what things you have tried to get a log. Be as much precise as you can! Better to place more infos while opening the bug report there than the developers has to ask every thing back. Topic would be something like "Icedove/Thunderbird isn't working with outlook.com over SMTP" You find the Mozilla bugtracker at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ If your bug is accepted there please give a feedback with a URL to the bugreport upstream. We can add the URI here and the BTS will inform us if the status is changing upstream. > of course it may be that no one else has this issue, > but it seems unsatisfactory to just abandon. I think no one else had this issue with Icedove and outlook.com before. On the other side no one who is using Linux and free software will probably use outlook.com as mail provider. ;) -- Regards Carsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
