changed my password on on att.net. now my bellsouth.net mail receives new messages, but thunderbird will not. I've deleted saved password. reset TB password. restarted TB.

This is the message I get:

Sending of password for xxx.bellsouth.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Server error - Please try again later

NB: password reset on Iphone also will not work??? But that may be just operator error on the iPhone

Use a secure mail key in TB with AT&T accounts and normal password authentication.
