I had IMAP set up on Thunderbird a while ago, and deleted it.
I've been trying today to set it up again, and it just doesn't work. I even tried using the PN help pages, and doing what they said, but that doesn't work either. When I click on the re-test configuration button - it sits there looking smug, and the only button that works, is the cancel button.

Hi John,
The fact that you have a 'Test Settings' option suggests to me that you're using some sort of automated wizard?
When Thunderbird tries automatically detecting the account settings, click 'Stop' and try entering the information manually.
Username: your mailbox username
Incoming: imap.plus.net (IMAP on port 143 using no encryption)
Outgoing: relay.plus.net (SMTP on port 25 using no encryption)

Hi Bob
That's pretty much what I've done (except using imap.free-online.net and relay.free-online.net ) I'll try again.

It worked (eventually) I was putting in the right settings, but TB3 runs the set up wizard automatically, and I think you need to stop it at the right point to be able to get the setting changed to what you need. After a googleplex of attempts, and a computer restart - it worked
