Hi,
I have a bad nuisance problem with Thunderbird and one of my accounts at my ISP, the one I use for this list.
I too have had no end of frustation with my ISP and Thunderbird after the ISP began offering imap. pop was fine, but with imap, they apparently require re-authentication between each imap access (which brings things to a crawl on a block delete of 500 messages). It's not Tbird either, as tbird has no problems with either pop or imap on correctly configured servers. I doubt your issue is the same, but I suspect it is due to a failure to follow the mail standards, or incompetent configuration on your ISPs end. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
