Change Mail Server Type
I recently added a secondary e-mail account from my ISP. The account
was generated and I can access it online. However I want to access it on Thunderbird. My primary account is working fine. but when I tried to add the secondary account, Thunderbird thinks it is a IMAP server. It is not. It is a POP3 server. I changed the port number, but that did not work. Thunderbird still gives me an error message that it is not a IMAP Server. there has to be a way to tell Thunderbird that it is a POP3 server not an IMAP server, but I can not find it. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks, |

Like when you found this group and didn't pay any attention to "hardware" or "amd" because you saw "thunderbird" and didn't think it through. You probably ought to start over, and pay attention to what it says on the screen before you click buttons. That's what my sister does, always clicks every OK or Next button that appears without reading what the message box says, and then wonders where her pictures went that she transferred from her camera. Whenever she transfers the latest pictures that she just took, she doesn't select just them, nope, she transfers EVERY picture that she ever took that still on that 2MB memory card all over again! Dozens and dozens of folders, with hundreds and hundreds of duplicate jpg files, LOL! After more than 10 years, she has no idea what Drive letter C: means, or what a Folder is. Huh? |

Hi
When setting up an e‑mail account in Windows Mail, you'll be asked to select the type of e‑mail server your account uses. Windows Mail supports the following e‑mail server types.

Besides that, I keep my old Athlon 900 in a drawer as a spare. Sure hope I never need that. My daily driver is a Barton core XP2600+ Mobile processor. |
