Thunderbird works great except that I can no longer send messages. "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: resomta-a1p-077051.sys.comcast.net resomta-a1p-077051.sys.comcast.net Excessive failed authentication, ESMTP server temporarily not available." How do I correct the problem?

Since the error message says the server is temporarily unavailable, I suggest you contact comcast.
