icedove configuration problem



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Bonjour,

As thunderbird is banned from debian, I try to setup my email account
using icedove.

It fails! For 2 reasons:

1- I presume that icedove check if my email address is a "valid" address
(and it is, I use it since almost 20 years at Paris Descartes
University) in some data bases. As it seems to fail to find it, It
reject it.... (even using "manual" configuration).

2- I use to use an ssh tunnel to link some port (>1048) of my machine to
the smtp port of the mail server at the university. Icedove allows to
only use ports 25, 587 and 465....


What is this way of doing? Some people somewhere want to help "ignorant"
people to configure their mail? Or is it now like in past SSSR: only one
address for everybody? That's will easier for the NSA!


What shall I do? Change my email address? Use mutt?

Thank you for any help and sorry for the groaning!
