[05:56] <tico506> hello, I am trying to use my US streaming accounts on several sites while visiting Costa Rica... Geo Restrictions are blocking me.
[05:57] <micahg> tico506: that's normal and due to the sites in question
[05:57] <tico506> I have been reading for a while and it looks like proxy services or even plugins on firefox might fix it
[05:57] <tico506> yet I fear both safety and the integrity of such practices...
[05:58] <tico506> any technical, moral and safety advice?
[05:58] <micahg> well, they generally have licensing agreements which prevent their streaming to other locales
[05:59] <tico506> i know... I worked for Amazon video on demand for quite a while and I understand why that's valid
[06:00] <tico506> I do happen to be an exception to that though as all of my stuff is def. US based
[06:00] <tico506> I also understand that as support friends you might be restricted to not answering such requests...
[06:00] <tico506> I was just reaching and hoping.
[06:01] <tico506> if that be the case, can I look anywhere else?
[06:01] <tico506> if not, can I get help on doing it?
[06:01] <micahg> well, there's askubuntu.com for support questions
[06:01] <tico506> ok
[06:01] <tico506> I much appreciate it
[06:02] <tico506> one last one that I believe is not compromising:
[06:02] <micahg> tico506: BTW, in general, it's a bad idea to use a proxy you don't trust
[06:02] <tico506> that's what I was going to ask
[06:02] <tico506> is there a way to know?
[06:03] <tico506> other than personal access to that proxy or knowing the admin?
[06:03] <tico506> I mean, to know if it's trustable or not
[06:03] <tico506> also, there are plugins that offer such feats... how do I judge them?
[06:04] <micahg> I can't really advise on that, maybe ask in #addons on irc.mozilla.org
[06:05] <tico506> ok... @micahg, I do thank you so so much for your help.
[06:06] <micahg> tico506: good luck
[10:03] <toomai> hi all....sorry...is this the right channel to ask questions about thunderbird?
[10:04] <brokencodes> whats the problem, toomai?
[10:05] <toomai> 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] <toomai> brokencodes: the normal username is whatever@vtxmail.ch
[10:05] <brokencodes> Let me take a look
[10:05] <toomai> brokencodes: and for the love of what is holy and pure...I can NOT change it to that...
[10:06] <toomai> brokencodes: thanks
[10:16] <brokencodes> Toomai
[10:16] <toomai> yes
[10:16] <brokencodes> brb
[10:16] <toomai> thanks
[10:16] <brokencodes> verifying
[10:17] <brokencodes> Open Thunderbird
[10:17] <brokencodes> Select on home screen, Create new account
[10:17] <toomai> wait
[10:17] <toomai> sorry,
[10:17] <brokencodes> put in full email address
[10:17] <toomai> its on my fathers computer, I can not check in real time
[10:18] <brokencodes> lol
[10:18] <brokencodes> Ok
[10:18] <toomai> well, creating a new account I have not tried...it was an upgrade from 3.x to 6.0.2
[10:18] <brokencodes> You have to enter the full email address first, before entering the server info
[10:18] <brokencodes> I did it 3 times, here
[10:18] <toomai> well, I check all over the place to make sure that is met...
[10:18] <toomai> checked*
[10:18] <brokencodes> my email being something@timmes.com, and the server being pop.secureserver.com
[10:19] <toomai> so its a bug then...*sighs*...because we simply upgraded without chaning anything (and it worked before9
[10:19] <brokencodes> yep
[10:19] <brokencodes> glad me could help
[10:19] <toomai> thank you for your time
[10:19] <brokencodes> np
