A few days I sent the following appeal "I have just upgraded my old Dell desktop from Ubuntu 10.10 to 12.04 using Canonical's official disk. So far I am the only user . When I log in (as myself) I see the standard wall paper but no icons menu bars task bars etc.'
That immediate issue is resolved now, following advice from the list. VMT. Now I have another, with email. I defined my email account on the new version of Thunderbird but cannot receive any mail. I spent a long time on the phone with iinet support trying to sort this out. No success. Each time I try to get mail I get an error message to the effect that iinet has received and rejected the password. I can SEND mail from Thunderbird (via iinet). I just can't receive mail. I installed Claws Email to see if I had the same problem. I have the same problem. With Claws, I get an option to look at the log and that says very clearly that iinet ask for, received and then rejected the password. I suspect that Ubuntu is doing something to the password before sending it. Any advice? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
