Hi all, <rant> I tried Mozilla today. Perhaps I missed something very obvious but there's nowhere to enter your password when you set up a mail account. When you fire it it up it sits there giving silly "Connection refused" messages. Obviously it _must_ work and no doubt that under some obscure menu there's a "Hide your email passwords here and even you will never find them" option. But it makes you wonder what has been going on for the past 4 years when the email client still hasn't got basic human interface right. </rant> OK. Now that's off my chest could someone please tell me how to tell Mozilla mail that my mail server asks for a password and is there a way for it to store that password? Thanks. Patrick
It doesn't ask for a password when you create an account, it only asks when it connects to the pop/imap server. At this point there is a checkbox to remember the password.
If you get a connection refused message before this dialog appears I would assume its because the imap/pop server isn't running or not accessable through a firewall (I got this message when trying to collect work email from home as the mail server is accessable externally but the imap server isn't) not because its tried to log in without a password.
