OK I'll answer my own question by saying I've fixed this by uninstalling
thunderbird (again) then deleting ~/.mozilla-thunderbird folder,
reinstalling and setting the accounts up again. All good now and I'm a
happy hardy heron human.
Cheers,
Roger

Hi, I have completed an essentially uneventful version upgrade from gutsy to
hardy heron except... My only issue appears to be that Thunderbird can neither
send a new message or download new messages. "failed to connect to server
pop.ihug.co.nz" and "unable to connect to smtp server. the server may be down
etc". This is to more than one server (ie not just ihug). All account
settings, servers and ports appear to be unchanged from what previously worked
fine.
Anyone able to suggest how I might resolve this? Have already tried a
Thunderbird reinstall via adept. I can do a telnet to pop.ihug.co.nz 110.
Cheers,
Roger
