Timeout in Thunderbird
I have Windows 7 64 bit, HP laptop, with an internal modem(I'm on dialup). Thunderbird shows that everything was setup successfully, but when I try to get mail, I get the message: "Connection to server "--------" timed out. Things I've tried were going into config editor and changing values in "network.ftp.idle.ConnectionTimeout" and in "mailnew.tcptimeout"; I did these one at a time and that didn't work. Tried using Thunderbird support and got a message: "How much are you willing to pay for the answer?" I left.
I should also mention; that when I tried setting up the same mail account in Windows Live Mail, (which also said it setup correctly), I got socket errors when trying to get mail.
Any other things I could try?
Thanks,
Steve
