When I played with T Bird, I only had to tick the manually setup option. I did a bit of reading alst night and it appears that the automatic setup tries to create an IMAP account. Doing it manually is so easy when you have all the data at hand. I keep mine in text files for quick reference.

When I set up an account manually I shut off all my traffic with my firewall so it would force Thunderbird to manually set up my account. It wants to try to set itself up automatically but that was the way I got it to go to manual settings.

Well, I used cntrl-shift f to find manual. I get everything put in, but Thunderbird says my server won't accept the information because the connection to the smpt server failed. I have checked everything but can't figure out what is wrong because everything matches my setup on my desktop. I never had this problem with Outlook Express. I still could use some help some how.

You want to choose to manually setup T Bird. Then it will work better. This ioption is on the first page of the setup and you will need to tick it before proceeding.

Subject: Setting up Thunderbird problems with Window Eyes reading or not


I really need some help. I want to switch from Windows mail on my vista notebook to Thunderbird.

I'm trying to set up T-Bird 3..? on my notebook pc where it has never been set up before. Thunderbird searches and incorrectly finds settings that require encryption. My server does not encrypt and I have never had this issue before. Can someone give me the steps to set up Thunderbird? I am having trouble navigating with Window Eyes and trying to figure everything out. I do know my outgoing and incoming server, but I can't seem to get to the correct places to enter it in Thunderbird. I do have Firefox installed successfully. I had no problems upgrading Thunderbird on my desktop, but a totally new install on the vista machine is not working.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Brenda
