I'm trying to get Thunderbird to connect to a fairly standard E-Mail account and I'm failing miserably at the moment.
The apparent problem is that I don't seem to be able to tell Thunderbird that the user name for both IMAP and SMTP authentication is user@isbd.co.uk. I've gone into manual setup for the account and changed the user name to user@isbd.co.uk but now when I tell Thunderbird to get mail it says:-
Enter your password for user@isbd.co.uk@mail.gridhost.co.uk
which is fairly stupid!
How do I get Thunderbird to allow me to set the user name to something which isn't <user>@<name of domain>? The correct mail server to use *isn't* related to the name of the domain where the user's mailbox is.
The domain for the user's mailbox is isbd.co.uk but the mail server (if you're using SSL) is mail.gridhost.co.uk.
