Outgoing Thunderbird email recently suddenly stopped working. Incoming email is OK There is no entry for SMTP or password in account settings. How do I create a smtp entry and PW?

iF you click tools>account settings, scroll down left side of pane to 'Outgoing servers (SMTP). You can create an SMTP server setting there. Be sure to name it in the 'description' field. Then, go to your account's main pane, look at bottom row for SMTP server, click the dropdown menu to select the one you just created.
