Help Please

Hello,

I switched over to Mozilla Firefox & Thunderbird today from IE and Outlook
Express.

I am subscribed to three newsgroups through Outlook but they will not update
in Thunderbird. Every 30 seconds I
receive a message box prompting me to give my user name and then another
message box prompting me for my
password. I have enter the information but the boxes still keep coming.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help my with this problem.

Thank you,
Emily

First, learn the diference between this newsgroup,
alt.comp.hardware.amd.thunderbird, which has to do with AMD K7 thunderbird
core CPU's and a software group.

Next, enter the *proper* user name and password assigned to you by your
news server (ISP?) in those little boxes that pop up and you will probably
get what you want.

Emily,

Did you check the password manager box to remember your password? Had this
happen to me after I first switched from OE to TB. HTH

Yes I did but to no avail.

Thanks Louie
