This is not what I have said! I am not totally dumb: I mean that allowing to use only ports 25, 587 and 465, Icedove, de facto, forbides me to choose, say, localhost port 10025 I wonder why we don't have permission to have a fancy mail address with a fancy configuration.... this however not the case for mine: I using it right now on my laptop, ans it works! So! How to fool this kind of default "programming" to setup an email account on icedove supposed to be helpfull! > > What shall I do? Change my email address?

I have nothing else: "Icedove failed to find the settings for your email account" and I am stuck, I can only click on 2 buttons: "get a new email" (gandi or something likr this...) or "cancel"! - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire MAP5 --- UMR CNRS 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlIHtwgACgkQdE6C2dhV2JXJ7wCgssdVvx41YCd72eLAUGy++wU5 zHYAnjiyt5HRQcdYE65tMFMcmx9ZI1NP =n+IE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
