Hi George, Well what a mess! We purchased an IPod yesterday and to make a long story short Lyle couldn't remember his email password. So we came home found the password and went back to the store. It wouldn't work. We finally created our IPod account in my name. In the meantime I began receiving messages from Apple asking me if the emails from Minnesota were legitimate. I related back that they were. Out of this mess which took several hours to straighten out apparently something happened to Lyle's g-mail account. We did manage to set a new password. And I discovered today that the box that said "Stay On" had been checked. I unchecked that so that he does have to use a password now to log on but it won't work with the The Thunderbird Message to log on with password. Now Thunderbird sends tells him to "Enter password on pop.googlemail.com - but his password is not accepted and he can't send. I have looked into his account on Thunderbird and I can't see what the problem is. I think you are probably correct in that something is not configured right. Our ISP is Time Warner. Thanks very much George. Trying to help him and also learn the IPod is a little more that my old brain can take. Appreciate your help.
