Is anyone having this trouble? I can't seem to download my messages because it's complaining that it couldn't send my username and that the server is saying "valid only after entering TLS mode"

...yet I have no clue what that is. >_<

webmail works fine, however. This is annoying me to run into such a weird problem when it was working fine earlier.

I think that's what happened to me a few months back, when I was having trouble with Thunderbird.  I had to change the server type from POP to IMAP (had something to do with my ISP, I think). 
I don't think you can actually make that change to an existing account in Thunderbird, though, so you'll have to create a new one.  You know, go to Tools -> Account Settings -> Add Account -> put in your info as normal -> Choose IMAP and put "email.leamonde.net" under the incoming server field.  I think.
Oh, and when you're done, go back into the Account Settings -> New Main Account You Just Created -> Server Settings -> under Security Settings, where it says "Use Secure Connection:" choose TLS, if it hasn't been chosen already.
There might be an easier way, though, I'm not sure.  If there is, I'm sure someone else'll let you know.
(This is all assuming, of course, that you're currently using a POP mail server.  If not, I have no idea what to do, lol)

Uh, yeah.  In Thunderbird, under Tools->Options... under your account's Server Settings, under the Security Settings, select TLS.  That should fix it.

If you're using POP, you probably should switch to IMAP anyway, but the main thing is that you don't send your password on the internets in the clear.

That's basically all it is.

That's the strangest thing, I can't find it. O.o

And I know I didn't set it as a POP server... the hell. I'll have to fix this when I get home from work. >_<


Edit-- Tried to make a IMAP version this time, but it refuses to work, saying that password failed. I'll just check for a new version of thunderbird (and punch it)

Edit,edit-- I don't get it. It worked after I got home from work. O_o *scratches her head* I still can't find TLS though... it only gives me the choice for SLS.

heh... well, feel free to get me on IM if you want to be walked through it or something.
