I am setting up new email for a new job.They use microsoft for email. I am receiving email on the accounts but cant send. It keeps saying that my password is wrong. But I know that is not the case. As I am having the same issue across two accounts.

Thunderbird is only the messenger; if the message states that the password is wrong, then definitely something is. Have you spoken with your employer's email administrator for password info? Some accounts may require two-step authentication or special access codes (possibly called "APP passwords').
