We were speaking of Thunderbird, not Firebird. :-) Firebird is a browser. You must be talking about Tbird. -Clint
Happy New Year to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "ETM" < Are you all saying that Firebird won't authenticate? I would find that surprising. My problems with downloading and sending yahoo mail via my mail program almost always involve the rules of the server rather than the mail program. I have just tried two dialups that would download but not permit sending using the yahoo address. My current server permits pop3/smtp receiving and sending via yahoo. I use TheBat! and believe it has more features than do most mail programs. But it also isn't free, though certainly not a major expense. I have Firebird on my computer, installed it to see what I thought, I think it's pretty decent, but it lacks a feature I have in TheBat! and which I am unwilling to give up. So TheBat! takes the prize. That feature is not in OE and I assume is not available in Outlook -- redirecting mail using the original sender's address -- Eudora's options for redirecting mail are not quite as clean and neat so I have never considered using Eudora. I thought the filtering to folders options might have been a bit weak in Firebird but I didn't use the program long enough to give them a fair shake.
