all/any,

are there any hardcore thunderbird users out there?

i'm new to thunderbird and like what i see so far. well, except that i can't
send email from thunderbird. (my 'other' imap client [outlook]) works fine
with my dovecot imap server but, alas, thunderbird does not, yet. the short
question seems to be how do i get thunderbird to use the authentication
method 'LOGIN'. it seems to use 'PLAIN' and i can find nowhere to change it.

the prefs.js file does not seem to be very well documented. there appears to
a place there to set this value (auth_method) but no documentation as to
what to change it to.

anyone have any ideas?

thanks,
stan

p.s. oh, and merry christmas to all!
