Thunderbird on Gatesware + Sympatico DSL

[bob]

Not everyone in my circle listens to my pitch about the merits of going 
Linux.     The best I can do with some of them is to pitch the merits of FTO 
(Firefox/Thunderbird/Open Office).

My brother has Gatesware XP + Sympatico DSL.     Firefox went on without 
incident.      Thunderbird seems to install just fine and pickup all the 
Outlook settings and address book etc.      It simply refuses to connect to 
the Sympatico email servers.

Any ideas.
