With Mozilla Firefox I use AT&T mail through Yahoo. I have 3 email accounts to check. I am constantly getting an error message that some setting is incorrect with ONE of the email accounts. I have checked all the settings, uninstalled and reinstalled that particular email account, etc. I have a screenshot, but don't see any place to add it to my comments here.
