When trying to retried incoming messages, I keep getting popup that ask for my password. I tried to use the hidden password in the app, which till now has always worked, but get the following message:

"Sending of password for user (parrotdise13@att.net) did not succeed. Mail Server inbound.att.net responded [SYS/TEMP] server error - please try again later."

I have browser access to my att/yahoo parrotdise13@att.net account after changing my password. But entering the new password in the above mentioned popup produces same result.

Thanks, John B.

You have to create a secure mail key and use that in TB instead of the account password used for webmail access:

Remove the entries for the account from Saved Passwords in Settings, restart TB, enter the secure key when asked for a password.
