Hi Thunderbird people. I'm trying to help set up a new Thunderbird mail account, and have to resort to Manual Configuration because the Auto setup doesn't succeed for my sister's provider. Problem is, when I try to follow the step-by-step 'Manual Account Configuration' instructions on the Mozilla website, crucial steps seem unavailable. Specifically: after entering the basic user information, and pressing STOP, I cannot then set the Server names, Ports and IMAP / POP before pressing MANUAL CONFIG. I seem only able to proceed beyond STOP by pressing Manual Config', the Servers (etc.) at left can't be accessed without changing them for an existing account. Can someone please clarify this part of the process? Has the screen sequence changed in recent times, or is the current 'Manual Account Configuration' article correct and up-to-date right now? Thanks for any advice you might offer.

Hi, SF Howes - thanks very much for responding and for the promising approach to resolving this problem. I guess going offline means that the auto-config 'lookup' is thus prevented from inserting settings inappropriate to this account / provider, after which we can manually enter my sister's provider's official settings.

I won't be able to try this for a day or two yet, but I will come back to tell you how things went. Thanks again, SFH! (From Ismatic)
