 From what I can see That will work in Thunderbird-2 but not 
Thunderbird-3  I tried it and
I still get that window that pops up and ask for your email address and 
password and it goes to ISP and gets those settings, and gives me Imap 
instead of POP3 and won't let me change it even I do a Edit.

I used Kmail and it allowed me to manually make settings and connected 
to ISP without any problem.

I don't know wether it's a ISP or Thunderbird-3 problem but something 
ain't right.

I did a search on Google about Tunderbird and Mediacombb.net and others 
are having the same problem, even in Windows using Thunderbird.

Thanks for your reply.
