No, I haven't done that. I started having this problem in Dubai on this trip, and it has continued in Singapore and here where I am at in Japan at this moment. I knew by common sense that it had something to do with hackers who commonly use international domiciles as their base for hacking.

To be quite honest, there is not much common sense in that, Mark.

I just wondered if there was an easy way around this to keep using Thunderbird. What I do is to go to the website of my ISP, log in, and then send mail out from the website. It just isn't as convenient as thunderbird, so I was trying to figure a way around this. If I call the ISP I will do it when I get back from the business trip I am on.

When people travel a lot, they quite often use a VPN solution or a roaming service such as iPass. Many ISPs are already members of iPass, and the iPass service is often part of the standard subscription. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
