| 1457892 | 2019-02-02 10:08:00 | I am running a local mail server (Hilary Clinton - style) and recently changed the internal IP address from 192.168.178.200 to 192.168.0.200 I successfully changed all this in the mailbox settings under "Tools"; "Account settings"; "Server settings" but strange things happened. When I right-click on the Inbox ( on the left-side folder tree); and choose "Properties"; I still see the IP address as 192.168.178.200 and I cannot see how I can change this. The box won't allow me to edit it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 9333 |

| 1457893 | 2019-02-03 05:44:00 | Old dick-head here, the reason why these properties cannot be edited is because they are controlled by the imap server. The REAL reason for all the problems was that when I changed the ip address, I failed to change my internal firewall settings - thus Thunderbird was not actually talking to the imap server. Changed the firewall, now all working OK. cheers. |
