<font face="Calibri">A friend arrived at my home this past weekend
with his new Dell laptop and asked for help installing an email
program. Not a problem I though so I downloaded Thunderbird, ran
the installer and watched the new account wizard totally fail to
do anything. Just that nice blue windows cursor indication
something was happening. After a time I cancelled the account
setup and disabled the "smart firewall" tried again. Nope, had
to turn just about everything in the product, including mail
scanning, just to get to the point of Thunderbird setting up the
accounts.<br>
<br>
I am dropping this mail here, not seeking support, but looking
to generate interest and discussion in how we get Thunderbird to
just work with these every increasingly rubbish security
products. Clearly if we are to grow a market share having the
product set up an account without major changes to the anti
virus/internet security suite is a given.<br>
<br>
So what suggestions do folks have. What we are doing not is
clearly not working.<br>
