Are you trying to setup pop or imap?

IMAP. Everything goes perfectly until it comes to creating the account he last step. Then after 5 min trying it says - password or username incorrect But I have set up the same account on 3 other computers? different vervions of windows and Thunderbird) with no problem. Tried to downgrade the Thunderbird but it did not help

Open Thunderbird > Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings > User Name:, make sure you put the FULL email address in that section.

Thanks I have checked that many times . Strange is I have done this on 3 other comps and all works except mine. There should be some conflict with ports may be
