[Lilug] Dumb Thunderbird Question

[Justin Dearing]

Ken,

Run wireshark and capture the imap traffic when you hit send/recieve from
the working laptop configuration to get an idea whats really happening.

Also, are you sure theres not some "inclide server name in account name"
checkbox you forgot to uncheck somewhere.
