Ok amigos...after all that bragging about Thunderbird, I am now having a 
problem.  Ever since I have been using it, I have never had it ask me 
for my mail password. I set it up originally for it to remember the 
password and  when I open T-bird it automatically downloads my mail and 
when I hit send, it automatically sends it, just the way I think it 
ought to work. For some reason, since I now can send out via gmail, as 
with this post, the password for my bellsouth account has been lost or 
something.  I seem to be able to receive mail fine.  It downloads fine 
when I open the app or hit get mail.  However, after I compose a message 
and hit send, it connects to the server, then prompts for my password.  
I enter it, check the box for TBird to remember it, and hit enter...two 
seconds later, it prompts for the password again.  It will do this 
sometimes 5 or 6 times, then it will finally send, or sometimes it will 
take 10+ times, and right now, it is just not transmitting the password 
or remembering it at all.  The Gmail portion is operating wonderfully 
under Thunderbird, but I need to log back on to the website and see if 
it is storing mail like the problem Glo has.  I don't like webmail 
because of security....not that I have that much to hide, but it is the 
principle of the matter.  Can anyone help with this password thing?
