Does the address have a leading or trailing space or uncommon characters? Spaces sometimes are the result of improper importing of contacts.

I have several accounts and send out on any of them. However, I have one Gmail account and it sends without problems. The others are ATT/Yahoo related. I contacted ATT, there isn't a problem on their side. I can send out mail if I go directly to the account.

I meant to say, "I have several accounts and (I can't send) out on any of them."

Sending from a webmail portal is different than sending over smtp in TB. First, make sure each account is set to send on the smtp server for that account, not the 'Default'; Tools/Account Settings, select the account in the left pane, then look at Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the lower right pane.

What are your smtp settings for the ATT account? Their recommendations depend somewhat on the email address

No sorry, I am still getting this message when I try to send out email.

"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again."

Go to Help/Troubleshooting Information, click 'Copy text to clipboard', then paste it into a reply here, omitting all the printer and font data.

For bellsouth.net customers, they recommend using outbound.att.net on port 465, SSL/TLS security, authentication = normal password, and User name = CustomerID@bellsouth.net. That is for POP accounts with inbound.att.net on port 995 (other settings same as smtp).

On that page, there is a Community Discussion post that confirms those settings. I suggest you change the settings for one account and see if it works, then change the others if it's successful. Tools/Account Settings, select Outgoing Server (SMTP) at the bottom of the left pane, then Edit the appropriate smtp server. You may need to delete the existing smtp password from Tools/Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords; you will be prompted for the correct password when TB connects to the smtp server.
