Then you haven't entered the correct POP3 or IMAP server settings.

Connection was refused before Thunderbird had a chance to even use a password. Most of the time this is because your pop3/smtp server settings are incorrect. Is this the problem you were having with OE, that you weren't able to check email?

Is Eudora any good?

Yep, its funny how they are the SAME EXACT SETTINGS ive been using for 4 or 5 months now.. worked 2 days ago, dont work now..

Ive remade the "profiles" a dozen times, and oddly enough im using the info from cox tech support, and their website.. it just dont work..

Im starting to think its Cox, and not me..

Btw, Thunderbird is flat out telling me my connection is being refused.. O_o

Fixord..


Now to turn off this gay ass preview pane.. O_o

Edit : done..

Thunderbird is kinda nice..

Newp, was my router or modem.. :icon25:

Just so weird it stopped working like that.. just out of the blue..

happens sometimes, pretty annoying.
but a hard restart fixes most modem problems
