329423 2005-03-01 22:24:00 I am keen to switch from Outlook Express to Thunderbird for my email. I have tried it and I cannot find how to switch between my dialup accounts for different email accounts. On Outlook express you got a drop down window that listed all accounts, but I cannot get this on Thunderbird. It always tries to dial the default. Also, how do you set it to automatically disconnect from dialup after emails have been received as Outlook Exp does? Mal007 (7473)

329425 2005-03-01 22:58:00 Try going to Tools/account settings / servers setings //advanced

Works okay for me for diff email accounts

/me can't see where that lets you specify a dialup connection.

329428 2005-03-02 22:33:00 Thanks for your input Ninja and Cowboy. I have two accounts with different dialups so need to be able to select which one at connection time. I also want to have automatic hangup after emails received. Mal007 (7473)
