Well, this has turned into a major brouhaha that's way bigger than this not-very-techie can handle.
My son (who lives in California and is seldom in Washington where he can be in-house tech support for me) spent an hour on the phone with my ISP's tech support and they came up with a workaround. So each time I use TB, I have to do a command prompt in Windows, then type in: telnet (my server name) 110 user (my username) pass (my password) quit Then I can send email through TB for a couple of hours. After that, I have to do the command lines again. My son tried writing a batch file, but he doesn't know how to make it pause and wait for an OK signal, then start up again. I haven't written batch files since 1982 (and only did a couple then). Does anyone have any advice? If I have to keep doing this, much as I like TB, I'm going to go to something else. This is just way too involved to have to do it every time.
