This account does not need SMTP settings, i never send from it. But the create Account Wizard insists on trying to validate passwords and every setting other under the sun. How do I get Thunderbird to act like software and not assume it know better than I do? All I want is for it to accept what I put in the textbox and use it, *and*do*nothing*else. Is there some magic config file where I can bypass the wizard? -- alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
