This is driving me crazy so any help much appreciated!
Existing machine is WinXP and, since Win95, I've always used Outlook Express. New machine is Win7 Ultimate and as the machine is 64-bit capable, it never gave me the choice on installation and defaulted to 64-bit install (don't know if that makes a difference though).
No Outlook Express available for Win7 so decided on Thunderbird - Win7 is new to me and I haven't got a clue what I'm doing with it, Thunderbird is new to me and I haven't got a clue what I'm doing with it, but I've been getting nowhere fast all day today.
I have my own domain name through 1and1.co.uk, which for ease of discussion we'll call xyz.com. I also have 1and1's "Instant Email" package so my email address is in the form of snipped-for-privacy@xyz.com and it's been working well on this XP machine for years.
I've DEFINITELY got the correct username, password and server settings. I know because I've checked on this XP/OE combination machine, and when paranoia set in I also checked my login details via 1and1 webmail - all good. However, the Thunderbird/Win7 combination, using the exact same login details, just will not let me access either the POP3 or SMTP servers at
1and1 - keeps telling me wrong password.Can anyone give me a step-by-step walkthrough for setting up Thunderbird on Win7 please? And, just in case it makes a difference, I have email via my ISP (BT Internet) in the form of snipped-for-privacy@btinternet.com which is correctly set up and working in TB/Win7, but for whatever reason, this 'domain name email' (for want of a better phrase) snipped-for-privacy@xyz.com fails each and every time.
TIA
