I've posted about this here several times but I'm not making any
useful progress.
Eudora decided it need to be installed again one morning. Installed
Eudora and later Thunderbird for XP.
Neither will connect with the ISP email server
mail.sitestar.net
I verified this name with the ISP several times. Same server for
incoming and outgoing. Ping shows server is present and reachable.
The only other thing I can think of is the wrong port used in email
app. I'm sure they are correct but will experiment today just in
case.
Anyone have any suggestions? A Google search phrase? Another email
app - one still in business? I'm sure this is something simple: a
stupid mistake on my part.
TIA

OK. Haven't had time to completely digest your help.
Called Sitestar support. Messed around a lot in Thunderbird but I think the
following did it:
Changed password
Changed username from kb****** to
Changed SMPT port from 25 to 587.
Now it sends messages. Haven't checked recieve because Thunderbird is DLing
a ton of unread messages from the past month or so. Checked again - receive
works too!
Thanks for all the help from here.
