Anyone know of how to make SuSE's Thunderbird work with MSN's secure authentication protocol on POP3/SMTP. Mozilla-Mail 1.7.13 on Linux which I have been using and works great but Thunderbird 1.5 on SuSE 10.1 will not authenticate using SA. I have moved all my inbox and local folders over from Mozilla-Mail to Thunderbird on SuSE 10.1 but I am currently at a brick wall because without Secure Authentication (SA) which is required for using MSN's POP3/SMTP services. TIA.
You have looked at View Settings for this Account/Security//Certificates (possibly Import) and Server Settings - Use Secure authentication?
Thanks, Basil. Hadn't thought of checking certificates but I never provided one before. Interesting, will have to look into that. As far as the check box for Secure Authentication, yes. I knew that it was required. Before moving to Linux, I had to use Outlook and then I found a product called Incredimail that has also gotten past the Secure Authentication road block to MSN mail. Still looking for ideas on this. I am contemplating installing the full Mozilla 1.7.13 suite on SuSE 10.1 from the Mozilla source, see if that works. Anyone done that successfully (installing the suite and/or using it with MSN on SuSE 10.x)? Clint
