localhost access

["Jeff Crosby" <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I changed 3 salesreps laptops today from Outlook Express to Thunderbird for
email.  Their current email setup uses 'localhost' for both incoming and
outgoing server.

2 of the 3 worked fine, the 3rd doesn't.  In Thunderbird, it says it cannot
access localhost, but in OE there's no problem.  On a lark, I changed from
localhost to 127.0.0.1 but that didn't help.  Since OE worked I assume it's
not a firewall thing.  I never thought to look at the hosts file, but,
again, if OE works, then I would think Thunderbird would.

Ideas?
