No, alas, the Thunderbird settings are much more complex.
Many thanks for the prompt reply.

Two other things

1 I can receive email from all my other POP3 mailboxes (Tiscali, Pipex, FastCo), while online via my Virginmedia cable connection.

2 I can now access my Virginmedia email via Internet Explorer (but not via Firefox). So the name of the email account is correct, and the password is correct.

It should be able to take you through the process of setting up your account.

By the way, thunderbird is now at version 3, might be worth updating yours and then setting up your accounts.

Si thee

I have set up many POP3 email accounts in Thunderbird.
But this one just will not work. I have followed the instructions from the helpline and everything seems to be as it is supposed to be. But it does not work.
