My emails are not saving to sent for my info@westofhereband.com account and I am getting this window popping up.

"The IMAP server info@westofhereband.com does not support the selected authentication method. Please change the Authentication method in the Account Settings/Server settings".

I have made no changes in my email settings since they were first set up years ago. I have gone through my settings comparing them to my other account settings (rodger@4trough.com) everything looks the same, and the one account is working fine, the other is not. My emails appear to send, but they do not save to sent!

Please post info:

In Thunderbird Help > Troubleshooting Information click on 'Copy text to clipboard'

in this forum question, right click in 'Post a REply' text box and select 'Paste' remove all info on fonts and printers as those parts are not required.
