Setting up e-mail on Thunderbird 2.0

[birberto]

Hi. I own a shell account on Polarhome Debian and I'm trying to set it up in Thunderbird. Incoming settings are OK, I managed to configure IMAP, but I have problem with the outgoing settings. Following the information in the port-forwarding guide the settings look like this:

With these settings when trying to send an e-mail mail.polarhome.com keeps asking the password and evethough I enter it correctly it's not sending. It keeps on asking and asking for the pass.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I have to redefine my first sentence: I'm trying to set up my mail account not my shell.

It should work... I'll check and reply asap.

OK. Standing by

I'm still on Thunderbird 0.3! Wow, embarrassing.

Anyway, based on my back-level-but-functional Thunderbird configuration, I think you need to set the port to 756 and the user name under "Security and Authentication" to halal@mail.polarhome.com. There should be a place somewhere else to enter your e-mail address halal@debian.polarhome.com.
