Thunderbird Portable 10.0.2 –
This was working fine.
Now I can download mail from the Orcon POP3 server on my Win7 system but it fails on my both of my XP systems
(Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.orcon.net.nz responded: re-authentication failure).
- I can download from the Clearnet POP3 server ok.
- SMTP to Orcon works ok.
- No recent Windows updates.
- No update to Thunderbird.
- No settings changed in T’Bird (in any case, it still works on the Win7 system)
- Disabled all T'Bird addons
- Closed virusscan and firewall to no avail.
Suggestions?

I would first make sure that the password uses simple characters.
Maybe the XP system isn't capable of handling certain characters.

Thanks but that isn't the problem. T'Bird worked fine on all systems until yesterday (09/03/2012).
The password hasn't been changed and there have been no XP updates since 22/03/2012.
As far as I can see, T'Bird hasn't been updated.
That's all I have.
So sorry to bother you.

yes they seem to be differencies in mail handling between w7 and xp.
I did not believe that, but currently we are solving some strange behavior on one particular mail server, where all works with xp and with w7 we can send only one mail at once. Devs of that mailserver are studying the wireshark log for days and so far could not find proper solution.
We are using thunderbird, outlook and windows live mail and had similar problems.
So you could also ask if there was some update on the mailserver side?
Could you try with other mail clients, windows live mail and outlook express for example?
