After a recent update, TB is trying to authenticate an 8 year old corporate email for which there is no incoming/outgoing mail server setup. "Authentication Requires XXXXX.com is requesting your username and password." Again this email was deleted from my profile 8 years ago and all of a sudden TB is trying to connect again. Thanks!

I don't know what happened or what you did to resurrect the old account. If it exists in your profile now, delete it (again).

Hey Chris thank for the response.. no I did nothing but update (well TB updated automatically broke a lot of stuff). The server has not been in my profile for 8 years! And now the server is trying to connect every 5 minutes with the error. Thanks for any help or ideas.
