Thanks Howard.. tried that, I receive a dialog box that asks me to input a
username, but not a password... so i still get permission denied... there is
also a tick box that says "Use Password Manager to remeber this value"...
ticking that seems to do nothing...

I feel i'm missing something quite simple...


Well, I've had a good look round and can find no obvious way although it
would seem daft not to allow this. I can only suggest posting to a
MozillaZine Forum and asking. Someone should have an answer. There are
two suitable forums (AFAICT):-

Thunderbird General

and Thunderbird Features
