1) Installing a fresh copy of Thunderbird does nothing for connection 
problems, only if TB doesn't start or has a GUI problem. The settings 
are in the profile, which is not affected by reinstalling.

2) + 3) Re-Na had no problems at home, so it's no problem with her 
computer or her normal TB settings. It's caused by the new wireless 
connection, which probably doesn't let her send using her own SMTP 
server. Her ISP techs may be able to help, but a better bet are the 
techs at the ISP she's using right now, Cox.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
