[05:56] hello, I am trying to use my US streaming accounts on several sites while visiting Costa Rica... Geo Restrictions are blocking me. [05:57] tico506: that's normal and due to the sites in question [05:57] I have been reading for a while and it looks like proxy services or even plugins on firefox might fix it [05:57] yet I fear both safety and the integrity of such practices... [05:58] any technical, moral and safety advice? [05:58] well, they generally have licensing agreements which prevent their streaming to other locales [05:59] i know... I worked for Amazon video on demand for quite a while and I understand why that's valid [06:00] I do happen to be an exception to that though as all of my stuff is def. US based [06:00] I also understand that as support friends you might be restricted to not answering such requests... [06:00] I was just reaching and hoping. [06:01] if that be the case, can I look anywhere else? [06:01] if not, can I get help on doing it? [06:01] well, there's askubuntu.com for support questions [06:01] ok [06:01] I much appreciate it [06:02] one last one that I believe is not compromising: [06:02] tico506: BTW, in general, it's a bad idea to use a proxy you don't trust [06:02] that's what I was going to ask [06:02] is there a way to know? [06:03] other than personal access to that proxy or knowing the admin? [06:03] I mean, to know if it's trustable or not [06:03] also, there are plugins that offer such feats... how do I judge them? [06:04] I can't really advise on that, maybe ask in #addons on irc.mozilla.org [06:05] ok... @micahg, I do thank you so so much for your help. [06:06] tico506: good luck [10:03] hi all....sorry...is this the right channel to ask questions about thunderbird? [10:04] whats the problem, toomai? [10:05] brokencodes: in 6.0.2 the username and mailserver (server settings in account) are used for username to login into mailserver of ISP...but that is wrong. username whatever and mailserver vtx.mail.ch gives whatever@mail.vtx.ch as username to login, but I have another loginname fpr mailserver and I can not change it [10:05] brokencodes: the normal username is whatever@vtxmail.ch [10:05] Let me take a look [10:05] brokencodes: and for the love of what is holy and pure...I can NOT change it to that... [10:06] brokencodes: thanks [10:16] Toomai [10:16] yes [10:16] brb [10:16] thanks [10:16] verifying [10:17] Open Thunderbird [10:17] Select on home screen, Create new account [10:17] wait [10:17] sorry, [10:17] put in full email address [10:17] its on my fathers computer, I can not check in real time [10:18] lol [10:18] Ok [10:18] well, creating a new account I have not tried...it was an upgrade from 3.x to 6.0.2 [10:18] You have to enter the full email address first, before entering the server info [10:18] I did it 3 times, here [10:18] well, I check all over the place to make sure that is met...
