I'm trying to set up Thunderbird on new computer BUT get back an error message that something is not right with my id or password or server sign in's.

My email address is robertkurz@bellsouth.net and my password continues to be what has been working. The sever for bellsouth and att accounts is now operated by Yahoo but that's been the case for some time.

Any suggestions?

Thanx

AT&T requires the use of a secure mail key in place of the account password in TB, and each computer with the same account must have a unique key.
