Hy folks. I'm experiencing trouble when sending mails through ThunderBird

Been using ThunderBird v0.8 for a while now and it really worked with Yahoo! U.K. mail (http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/toplevel/ymsgr6/*http://mail.yahoo.com/) and it's pop servers. The U.K. pop servers (pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk) aren't the same as Yahoo! regular 1's, altough the web login page is.
It wasn't the best of relationships but it worked... :P

A few days away I deleted the no proxy for: from within options menu, located in the advanced submenu (conection settings). Did it due 2 a problem when handlin' mails in another network I was plugged in at the moment. I've placed it back after seeing the server's IP but it didn't work. I've also tried the gateway n' am tryin' the sub-net mask as we speak. None of them works. Maybe it's the point in next paragraph. :confused:

Yesterday, I finally returned 2 the office and upon start (ThunderBird) asked 2 updates. I've left it alone updating. And when the app said that the latest version (http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/) was needed (critical update, if recalled correctly) I did it and left 4 a meeting. When I'm back n' try 2 send a msg, the mf doesn't comply and gives me this error (http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html) in a alert msg, generated from Yahoo!. Now it only receives mails. :shiftyl:

I use Thunderbird 4 both personal mail accounts and the work 1... n' just wish it 2 work properly again.
What should I do? :concern:

Problem solved. Any admin/mod can close this thread, please. Tks!
Just gonna post the answer 4 some1 who may have similar probs in the future. :)

Found out that the link 2 the net was provided by a determined company. Hence I created a mail account in that companies' free net service at their webpage.
From there I config'ed the ThunderBird 2 send mails from the account generated SMTP's server.

Works like a charm! Provided the server isn't traffic flooded... ;)
