Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.0

I recently installed Thunderbird on a new Vista computer. All 5 of my email accounts were working. Three are web based. On May 24 or 25 I accepted the extension update message for Webmail and Hotmail. All of the web based accounts quit working at this time. I deleted the new extensions and re-installed the old ones with partial success. I still could not receive the hotmail accounts. Obviously the updates had been released without complete verification because I found that superceding extensions were released over the weekend. I installed the new extensions, but one hotmail account did work and the other didn't. I have carefully verified (several times) that the settings are identical. I have deleted and re-installed the non-working account. I have verified I can still receive the account on my wifes computer with xp and outlook express, and via the web. I have verified the password (several times). 

The error message is: "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server localhost responded: negative vibes from [e-mail]". 

Thanks

this sounds like a problem with the extension(s), not with Thunderbird - you need to contact the extension developer, not the Thunderbird developers...we have our hands full with Thunderbird :-)
