The relationship between the microwave and TB could be the cause of
your problems

Anyways, close the program, and using your file manager, locate the
mail section of your TB profile. The profile contains all your
settings, mail, passwords, etc. Inside, you will find some files that
end in *.msf. Once found, delete them. Now restart TB. Does this work?

To find your TB profile, you can read this:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/thund...profile#locate

but if you're using windows, then you must read this first:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...ddenfiles.mspx

I did it and now Tbird just sits there and tries to log in to no
avail.
Any more suggestions?

Thanks.

Did did the deleting with the program close, right? Thats very
important. And you only deleted the *.msf files, right, and nothing
else, right?

That error could also be a stuck message on the server.

in all the times that I have used Netscape, Mozilla Suite, and now
SeaMonkey, I've never encountered that problem, and I get over 200
spams a day.

I used to get stuck messages on Comcast's mail server but not lately.
They seem to have fixed the problem.

Ran into it once. NOTHING I could do on my computer worked. The only
means of clearing it was getting my ISP to clear the message out of the
mailbox. I had actually called the ISP because it wasnt clear what
settings to use for telenetting in - and when I told them why, they said
they could do it for me - poof - by the time I was off the phone, the
problem was gone.

Of course you dont see it often, because it means the spam (in which it
is usually contained) DOESNT get through! So spammers tend to avoid
using such, as it is counter to their purpose... they want you to see
the message, NOT have it stuck in your mail box!
