211345 2004-01-30 20:11:00 Decided I wanted T/bird to match my F/bird browser, so got it and set it up following the instruction wizard.The only trouble is it keeps giving me the failed to connect alert each time I try to use it.It dials up ok, just fails to connect.Have I missed something, everything is checked again each time this happens, but I can`t see the obvious.Any ideas and help most welcome.

211346 2004-01-30 20:48:00 Have you checked the server settings for POP and SMTP are correct? Also make sure the username and password is in correctly for your ISP. Jen C (20)
211347 2004-01-30 21:58:00 Checked and rechecked all that Jen,but still no luck.
OE connects no problem, as does everything else.
I`ll keep trying ,but I`m at a loss really as to what else to do.
Have checked settings in Z/alarm etc, no joy.
I get the feeling T/bird won`t be that long on my computer if I get to frustrated.
Thanks Jen

Remember to re enable ZA afterwards though. ;-)
