Hi
I've set Thunderbird up with an IMAP account (as per a previous thread), but if I try to reply via that account, I get asked for a password. When I enter my FOL password, it comes up with a failed to send message and asks if I want to retry, then it asks for a password ...
What am I doing wrong?
John

Blimey - that was quick - Thanks
John
EDIT - Whoops - spoke too soon. I found that screen and that's what it says (except it's only got my short user name. Do I need to put username@free-online.net or something?

Got it! It was picking up a different SMTP setting, using "john" as my user name and not my proper one - thanks for the help.

Hi
Yes I usually use the idps address. You're right it saves on finger-strain
All working now. It only needed the proper user name (not the rest of the address)
