making sense of Mozilla Thunderbird

Hello folks
I just gave Mozilla Thunderbird a try, and for some unknown reason,
I'm not able to make much sense of it. After I installed it and ran
the import wizzard, i launched the program and was prompted for my
password, which, for whatever crazy reason, I couldn't even
enter. for this particular account, the first character of the
password is a number, and when I hit that number, Thunderbird
flashed something on the screen that said, "alert"! and I was then
prompted for my password again. Hitting that same number again,
alert! Does Thunderbird have some kind of issue with passwords that
contain numbers or some weird thing or other? I would talk about its
accessibility with JAWS but to be honest I never really got that far
with it. So, if anyone knows why this is happening, or if I'm just
doing something incredibly dumb, I didn't think entering a password
would get this to happen? I would love to know how to fix it so I can
actually try it out. If it turns out that a vast majority of folks
here say Thunderbird isn't screenreader friendly I'll just go ahead
and trash it, but I wanted to at least try it out and see. Firefox
is pretty cool, so i figured Thunderbird couldn't be that bad. Now i
wonder though.
Thanks.
