One of my mail account was suddenly telling the password was wrong last week. After waiting some days to see if it will be corrected on provider's side (nothing change on my side; sometimes it occurs... and is corrected a pair of hour later) I connect with web interface to my mail.... and i was warned to change my password: provider's security have changed (without notice! i blame them for this; they can change but will have to notice users BEFORE) and the password have to be longer, with letters, numbers, non alphanumeric characters (but strangely, a very few is allowed: > is, < is not :D).... my old one (since years... was "only" six letters. Works perfectly now. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
