I have a Tiscali email account which has been taken over by TalkTalk. I can put all the settings into Thunderbird manually, but it still can't find the account. is there anything else I can do?

Are you using Version 38?

Go to tools | error console. Click Clear. Leave it open. Now try to add your account back. Is there anything in the error console from the failed attempt?
