Thunderbird usually tries to determine what names are associated to the mail services' servers, and many providers did things like obsolete "pop" or "pop3" in favour of "mail", whereas "imap" usually has been kept. Sometimes, "smtp"'s functionality also has moved to "mail", so both for sending (SMTP) and receiving (POP3) the same "prefix" can be used. That should not be a problem (except it is reflected in the mailbox subtree naming). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
