My DSL requires authentication, which I could not find in Thunderbird email
client. Any info on that? I couldn't bring in my email. Maybe the new
Pegasus/Eudora that's soon to be released (freeware) will have all the bells
and whistles.

Hi
Just writing back to Thank those who responded to my earlier posts
regarding my OE problems and the possibility /issues involved moving
to Thunderbird....it has been a week now and most everything seems to
be OK!
No problems that I am aware of and I believe it is just a learning
curve I need to go through in order to be more comfortable.
There are some idiosyncrasies but none that seem to matter.

I am running the MozBackup to accomplish the backup and that seems to
be working out OK too.

I only have 4 or 5 filters at this point but will be installing more
in the future. I don't think I will get to the numbers I had before as
I have been using the junk control and the inbox appears to be much
better.

The biggest thing for me is that the views of my messages does not
change--before OE would have to be restarted when messages all of a
sudden were not there any longer.

All mail, rules and address book imported just fine.

This appears to be a product that works as advertised.

Again, Thanks for all the hand holding.

Merry Christmas!
Joe
Just wanted to continue the follow up....
Still happy and no problems....still some idiosyncrasies, but, what a
smooth transition......and the product works very well!

http://kb.mozillazine.org/SMTP_authentication

f your ISP or e-mail service provider requires SMTP authentication for
outgoing mail, you will need to use the "Use name and password" option
for that SMTP server. Note: SMTP authentication has nothing to do with
using a secure connection, nor the "Use secure authentication" option,
which is for POP3 (incoming mail) rather SMTP (outgoing mail).

To set up Thunderbird (or Mozilla Suite) to use authentication with your
SMTP server:

* Go to "Tools - Account Settings - Outgoing Server (SMTP)".

(If using Mozilla Suite: go to "Edit - Mail & Newsgroup
Account Settings - Outgoing Server (SMTP)".)

* Select the server and press the Edit... button.
* Check the "Use name and password" option.
* Add your username. Your username might be your full e-mail
address (e.g., ") or only the part before the "@"
("johndoe"), depending on your service provider; check with them which
is correct.
* Click "OK".

Thunderbird will ask you for your password the first time you send email
and you can optionally save it at that time
