Sure, I just made added another Outgoing SMTP server to thunderbird and
set the port to 587, used the same login and pw as on the entry w/port 25
and add check box for ssl .

This works from Home it is yet to be seen if it works from Motel with
bell south. I will report on success next week when I test same from
Motel.
In the meantime my ISP  Icdsoft.com  said they also process smtp requests
for account holders on 25 (or 587) if 25 blocked by the Motel ISP and so
I will also try that. I just cant stand using Webmain, yuch!!!
