Subject: [gentoo-user] thunderbird bug?
Date: Tue, 24 May 2011 19:57:04 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20110524T214914-778@post.gmane.org> (raw)

Hello,

When I try to click an email address in Craigslist to respond
to a poster, I get this error message:

Sending of message failed.
An error occurred sending mail: Unable to authenticate to SMTP server
smtp-server.tampabay.rr.com. It does not support authentication (SMTP-AUTH) but
you have chosen to use authentication. Uncheck 'Use name and password' for that
server or contact your service provider.


However, when I just cut and paste the same identical email address
into the to field of thunderbird, it works perfectly. I'm drawing 
a blank for "keywords" or ideas to search out this problem.....
It use to work fine, so I'm guessing it's a thunderbird bug.
Where would I search out those sorts of bugs?

Could this be my bug?:

I use thunderbird, not  seamonkey, for email....

ideas?

James
