This extremely logical! I need and want more like this! Well, in fact I was looking into this myself, before I saw you'd solved your problem, and discovered that (what the hell did I discover?); well, anyhoo, I went to New/Mail Account in icedove, put in your name and email address (and a bogus password, not to worry) and pressed Continue. Is that a run on sentence? If you let the software search to the point where you get the error message that you told us about earlier, the exact wording of which escapes my puny brain, the manual configuration button no longer works (it says server already configured, or something to that effect). No, you must press the little stop button that's available during the automagical search process, effectively aborting this process, and then the manual configuration button works. The faulty logic perhaps being that if the autoconfiguration process completes, the user won't need to do any manual configuration. Wrong. Whew. Pour ma part, j'utilise alpine, qui fait ce que je lui dis de faire et rien d'autre. ;-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

For 2 reasons: 1- I presume that icedove check if my email address is a valid address (and it is, I use it since almost 20 years at Paris Descartes University) in some data bases. As it seems to fail to find it, It reject it (even using manual configuration). 2- I use to use an ssh tunnel to link some port (1048) of my machine to the smtp port of the mail server at the university.
