Christi, Thanks for your support. After tearing my hair out, what little is left, I read the small print in the Thunderbird technical support article. Problem solved in about 30secs. Got no help from the Tiscali technical pages for setting up Thunderbird. Cheers, Ian.

I followed the Tiscali set up info to the letter. I could not send any messages. I always got the same error message. I then read the Thunderbird technical article re these error messages and found that I needed to complete the "user name" section on the Accounts settings bit, something that Tiscali did not mention at all. Doh!. Problem solved within 30 secs! Thanks for all the support. Cheers, Ian.
