Hello, I am trying to set up my email accounts on thunderbird for the 1st time. What I did: - install thunderbird: ok - set up @hotmail.com adress: ok - set up @operamail.com adress: error "Configuration could not be verified - Is the username or password wrong?" however, i am sure that it is correct (when I log in in the browser it works fine). I checked the ports: ok and serveradresses: ok.

anybody have an idea to fix this? thank you in advance daniel
