email settings
Oh what fun windows 7 is. Still finding the change from XP difficult.
Thunderbird installed but configures itself wrong so it wont work. Installed it on the old XP computer and it works a treat. Even imported its
settings from Outlook express and configured itself. So I have a fully functional Tbird on the old desktop and a sick one on the new lappy. Is there a
'Move thunderbird to a new computer without tears (suitable for idiots version)' that would allow me to sort the new lappy. Complete with
address book and old emails would be excellent too.

You want to try switching from a PC to as Mac!!!
Mind you, once you get the hang of it, then it's unlikely you'll go back!
It's Evolution Baby!

MSN and Thunderbird are W7 compatible - I have them both on mine and both work fine.
You configs must be wrong...

After a frustrating few hours I can now get Tbird to log on and collect emails. It then times out and won't send. Is there a 'stay
connected' setting?

Finaly solved sending emails with tbird.
In Tools>accounts>outgoing server> Look for your account and edit the settings.
Unclick the box that says 'Use name and password'.
Connection security. Choose the 'None' option.
I can now send and recieve, not that I'm delighted with the no security option.

I don't think that it means that Thunderbird has no security - I believe that it means that your mail server doesn't have any special
security requirements.
