Hi,

my problem is that when I logon to Thunderbird & it immediately logons to
the relevant POP3 server it throws back an alert that 'Sending the password
did not succeed. Mail server MAIL1.eircom.net responded: invalid ray
o'sullivan'.

I have contacted the support people for the eircom server mentioned above
and confirmed that the password I was using was/is correct. I have been
using Thunderbird for 2 to 3 years with no issues even when I went to
broadband.

Any clues to a resolution would certainly be appreciated as I am a daily
user.

Thanks,

Ray.

The password may be correct, but are you sure you are using the correct
username for your account?

Nico,

You're the man! Like everything else in this computer business a change has
some impact and of course what did I do on Sunday night ... change my
username!
I should be shot for not copping that basic change.

Many thanks!
