Bonjour,

I installed f-17 and wanted to set my mail with thunderbird.

New account, name, mail address, smtp.... *immediately* thunderbird
helper goes on the web to check my email server and don't find it! Why?
I really don't know: this mail address and server has been in service
for years now (and I'm using it to send this mail).... I can ping it, I
can dig it...

And now, I am stuck: I cannot have my mail because thunderbird try to
help me, as if I was so stupid that I cannot know my own email address!

I really don't understand what is the goal of this kind of help, even if
I make a mistake while I give my emeil server address, doomsday won't come!

The result is: I cannot configure my mail because someone has thought
that this automatic check will help people. Stupid!

Regards
