For fun I'd being trying OE (just to test). As to Thunderbird not working
I find that highly suspect and would guess there's something wrong with
it's setup.
OK. My Thunderbird settings are wrong.
When I open I get an immediate:
/Alert/
"Mail Server does not support secure authentication."
I suppose this means I AM going thru a proxy?
Only because ATT/Bellsouth 'says' that I NEED to now use secure
authentication. To which, I read using the new ports and "SSL."
Where have I gone south?
Other than the "Secure Authentication" settings of TBird to back off of,
any additional help?
Thanks,
Duncan

I recently had to move my email process from a bellsouth.net mail server
(?in TX) to an ATT/Yahoo email server in Santa Clara, CA. This switch,
with entropy, took ~72hrs.
ATT/Bellsouth seem to report the switch is now complete.
Naturally, nobody at BellSouth or ATT know anything about (or do not
like!) Eudora......... :)
Along with pointing Eudora to a new POP server and a new SMTP server (at
yahoo.com), I was also told to enable SSL and change/use alternate
"ports" for these new servers. I think that I have managed to make the
proper changes to Eudora. I do seem to get email..................
BUT, not without constant Eudora reported ERRORS. The errors read as
follows:
<Dominant>, SSL: 1 message(s) lefte to download., DELE 10 [01:37:50 PM]
There has been an error transferring your mail. I said: DELE 10
and than the POP Server ([email protected]@pop.att.yahoo.com) said:
ERR popgate inactivity timeout
1. I have now changed Eudora to "Leave email on the server." Just to
see if this error each time I RCV email goes away.
2. If left this way, I will now have to login to att/yahoo's web portal
each week to erase my inbox. Bummer!
BTW, Mozilla/Thunderbird v2.0.0.21 will not/does not even talk to these
new replacement isp email servers at all!
Can I supply any additional info?
Thanks,
Duncan
