After saving password, the show saved password pop up window displays the wrong SITE, how can I correct this?

Saved Passwords Tools, Options, Security, Saved Passwords: Site Heading: mailbox://pop.bizmail.yahoo.com, It should read mailbox://my mail hosting site.

I have removed this from the list using the remove button. Checked that the pop and smtp address for the server are correct. Shut down TB and re-started TB, typed the password and checked the save password box. I return to the saved passwords window and the wrong SITE is showing again. I am not sure how or where it is getting this wrong site. Tried looking at the TB software files but no luck. So, it must be in the profile file but I do not know how to debug that file. When I click "Get Messages" I see at the bottom of the main window "connecting to "my mail hosting site" and I do receive my messages "Sometimes", seams to run slow and I do not receive all the messages. Any help.

Lets start at the beginning. Thunderbird identifies the site based on how it identifies itself. Looks like a standard sort of sleigh of hand type thing I would expect from Yahoo or any of the major providers. So lets forget it.

Now perhaps we can move onto the real issue which I guess is slowness and missing mail. Both of which just happen to be common issues causes by anti virus programs. What are you using?

I am using Avast free version. Today I removed the LAN cable out of the 24 port switching hub and plugged directly into the router port. Now the program runs fast when checking for emails. Looks like all the emails are showing up. I do have other computers plugged into the switching hub with no problems. The hub is brand new. My thinking is the cable connector might be to blame. I will try re-crimping the wires. As for now, things are running good. I will keep investigating. Thanks
