Thunderbird stopped working on my att.net email address/password
Thunderbird stopped receiving or sending my email to my email address as of November 16, this year.
I have to go to the web to get my email. It gives me the error message:
Sending of password for user my name@att.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Server error - Please try again later.

Look in Edit/Preferences/Privacy & Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords. Remove the account password, restart TB, enter a secure mail key when prompted for a password. Create the key on the AT&T site:

Are you using a secure mail key or the regular account password?
I am using the regular account password. It works when I access on the web, through Firefox. I could find no place where I could look at my password in Thunderbird. I deleted my Thunderbird account, then tried to set it up again. It recognized the email name and password, said it already existed and would not set up a new account ... so it appears not to be on my computer where the problem lies, the server decided it doesn't like me anymore?
