This is not what I have said! I am not totally dumb: I mean that
allowing to use only ports 25, 587 and 465, Icedove, de facto, forbides
me to choose, say, localhost port 10025
I wonder why we don't have permission to have a fancy mail address with
a fancy configuration.... this however not the case for mine: I using it
right now on my laptop, ans it works!
So! How to fool this kind of default "programming" to setup an email
account on icedove supposed to be helpfull!

I have nothing else: "Icedove failed to find the settings for your email
account"
and I am stuck, I can only click on 2 buttons: "get a new email" (gandi or
something likr this...) or "cancel"!
