Problems sending emails in Thunderbird
Hi Guys,
I recently installed Mozilla Thunderbird on my second computer, having used it successfully for a long time on my main PC that's at another address. At both properties, the broadband is prvided by BT.
When I came to send an email for the first time, Thunderbird kept asking me for the password to log on to the SMTP server. I know I'm using the correct password, as that's the one I use with my other computer, but for some reason it won't accept it. I tried using Outlook Express with the same settings, and that works fine at sending my email.
Does anything spring to mind? It's going to be over a week before I can get back to my other PC to examine the settings in Thunderbird there.
