Hi Robert
Well, I was able to follow the instructions in your link, but something
is still not right and I can't use Thunderbird. I have a hard time
navigating around the program, it is not at all like Outlook Express
where everything is read by Window-Eyes. Sometimes the numpad keys
work, but the keyboard up and down arrows rarely read anything. I can't
even figure out how to delete the accounts I created in error.
I just don't udnerstand why many people like Thunderbird. It is a real
pain to even try to set up. Maybe they haven't had to start from
scratch with version 3. It would be nice to use for security reasons,
but I still need someone to help me figure this ut. Does GW have any
instructions like they do for Outlook Express?

automatic setup tries to create an IMAP account. Doing it manually is
so easy when you have all the data at hand. I keep mine in text files
for quick reference.

or not
When I set up an account manually I shut off all my traffic with my
firewall so it would force Thunderbird to manually set up my
account. It wants to try to set itself up automatically but that was
the way I got it to go to manual settings.

but Thunderbird says my server won't accept the information because
the connection to the smpt server failed. I have checked everything
but can't figure out what is wrong because everything matches my
setup on my desktop. I never had this problem with Outlook
Express. I still could use some help some how.

You want to choose to manually setup T Bird. Then it will work
better. This ioption is on the first page of the setup and you will
need to tick it before proceeding.

Subject: Setting up Thunderbird problems with Window Eyes reading
or not
I really need some help. I want to switch from Windows mail on my
vista notebook to Thunderbird.
I'm trying to set up T-Bird 3..? on my notebook pc where it has
never been set up before. Thunderbird searches and incorrectly
finds settings that require encryption. My server does not
encrypt and I have never had this issue before. Can someone give
me the steps to set up Thunderbird? I am having trouble
navigating with Window Eyes and trying to figure everything out.
I do know my outgoing and incoming server, but I can't seem to get
to the correct places to enter it in Thunderbird. I do have
Firefox installed successfully. I had no problems upgrading
Thunderbird on my desktop, but a totally new install on the vista
machine is not working.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brenda
