Thunderbird issues

1. I can't send messages and i know the smtp server is correct but i'm not sure of all the other settings in the smtp tab
2. I make a filter(and a folder which these messages should be moved to obviously) and... nothing happens! Even when i rescan or restart thunderbird.

Any clues?

1. It's set up wrong.
2. It's set up wrong.

Seriously, you will have to give some more info for us to figure these out....

Re: Thunderbird issues

gah! can't you just tell me it's a bug/known issue!? But seriously, i don't know what more info i could give you...,OK, I CAN receive mail, but i can't send it..

The filters i'm trying to make i make by right-clicking on an email 'From' header for example and choosing 'make filter from message'

for example all emails from: arch-dev-public-bounces@archlinux.org move to 'arch-dev-list-folder'

and it doesn't work!

Re: Thunderbird issues

outgoing server is wrong if you can get but not send! check your settings again

Re: Thunderbird issues

is you're smtp server requiring a password for sending mail, and if so is it set correctly?
