What is your Thunderbird configuration ? Do you expect thunderbird to contact SMTP/IMAP/POP3 servers on port 80 ? Typically, SMTP/IMAP/POP3 servers run on a non-80 port. Unless, you configure thunderbird to use a HTTP tunnel, by specifying a proxy. Have you done that ? If your proxy supports HTTP tunneling, you should test whether tunneling works on the destination host/port in question. Refer to the following link to run your test, http://www.anta.net/misc/telnet-troubleshooting/http-proxy.shtml Unfortunately, I don't have a proxy setup right now to give you the steps myself but I am sure the link above should suffice. -- 0 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
