Re: Pop3 email with Thunderbird

[QUOTE=Feeble;34945364]Once again, I am saved by the knowledge and helpfulness of Moldova.

In case anyone is interested, the reason for my problem was that I was using the wrong pop3 server name, in the wrong format, and the wrong port nos on both servers, and had carefully turned off the SSL option. Otherwise, everything was fine. Apart from using the wrong password, because I didn't know the real password, which wasn't the password I had chosen, but it had been notified to me via my Virginmedia mailbox, which I couldn't access, because I didn't know the correct password.

My thanks to all. I don't know how I would have managed without cableforum and its contributors.
