| 1109941 | 2010-06-15 11:20:00 | Thinking now changing to a different ISP entirely as I am so frustrated . Rather not have a secondary email . I email a lot of documents and like the ability of being able to email directly from Word . As a workaround I have been logging onto Slingshot Webmail but this is cumbersome and slow . KP This is why you should have an e-mail account that is NOT tied to an ISP . Thunderbird works perfectly with Gmail - now is the time to change . :thumbs: |

| 1109942 | 2010-06-15 11:52:00 | I am with slingshot so just tested their smtp servers: smtp.slingshot.co.nz and smtp.slingshot.net.nz work fine with MS Outlook :thumbs: But when using thunderbird ... its a no go. :confused: | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 1109943 | 2010-06-15 12:00:00 | Thunderbird seems to default to IMAP rather than pop3 which does not help. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 1109944 | 2010-06-15 12:07:00 | OK... I played around with the settings and got Thunderbird to send using smtp.slingshot.co.nz... make sure your smtp setting is similar to this (www.imagef1.net.nz). By default thunderbird ticks the username and password option. Untick it. Hope this helps. | ronyville (10611) | ||
