281116 - Doesn't read email or transmit email messages

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Prof. Harley Flanders]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I downloaded and installed Thunderbird 1.0 yesterday.

Problems: It just hung while trying to download email messages.
I tried to send an email message, and got an error message about not
finding the server.

I uninstalled it, downloaded again and reinstalled, all this today.

Same result.

I was (and still am) using Outlook Express for email.  My incoming mail
comes from the Univ. of Michigan; my outgoing through Yahoo, via my SBC
DSL connection.

As far as I could see (not very far), Thunderbird collected data on my
incoming and outgoing servers, but there must have been errors someplace.

It isn't clear to me how I can check all the parameters in Thunderbird.

Any solution, or just wait for 1.5 or 2.0?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
