Sorry if I've placed this is the wrong section
But I downloaded Mozilla's Thunderbird Mail app last night
and tried to set it up.
I've put all the POP and SMTP settings in and it retrieves all my mail fine, but says the SMTP settings are wrong when it comes to sending.
What should I do? Go to yahoo with my problem?
or can anyone help?

Cheers

talker,

Since this a forum for Apple Mail & Address Book-Tiger, you may find Thunderbird Help to be a better place to find an answer to your question.

I don't think that's the right answer. Thunderbird's forums deal with general problems of setting up Thunderbird. This question (and I am having the same problem) is specific to what you need to do to get .Mac to work with it.

It sounds like the OP wants to get Yahoo to work with it, rather than .Mac. For .Mac problems there is also another forum that might be useful:

No matter where you post this question whoever tries to answer it is going to need more information:

1) who is your internet service provider?

2) who provides your mail sending service (ie the SMTP)?

3) do you have more than one mail account and identity set up in Thunderbird?

4) what is the exact error message you get when SMTP doesn't work?
