Yes. I use a tunnel from home to work, and by use I mean Firefox to open pages/applications I don't want to expose to the Internet. It should be the same with Thunderbird, of course the port changes, but you connect to localhost:143 (IMAP), localhost:25 (SMTP), or whatever. If you can connect with telnet to those ports, then TBird shouldn't have a problem. -- René Berber -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
