PLEASE READ ENTIRE QUESTION, NOT JUST THE FIRST PART!!! IF YOU ONLY READ FIRST PART AND SEND ANSWER, IT WILL NOT HELP ME!!! READ PAST THE ERROR MESSAGE!!!

I open Thunderbird, write an email, and hit send. It doesn't send, and gives me this:

"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client, or login to the IMAP/POP3 server before sending your message. "

KEEP READING BEFORE RESPONDING: If I hit get mail FIRST, and THEN SEND, it sends the email. But I have to do a getMail first, otherwise it won't send any mail with the above error message.

If I leave Thunderbird open and it's been open for awhile after receiving and sending email, it will, once again, fail to send with the above message unless I do a GetMail.

I want to send without doing GetMails. Wassup?

Some email servers will allow you to send mail if you first get mail using a particular IP address, assuming you are who you were. They are few and far between these days as the security is particularly poor.

Your outgoing server is I guess set to not use a password, so when the get part is met your can send, all other times it complains about the lack of a password.

Tools menu (alt+T) > account settings >outgoing server (SMTP) > select the account > Edit and change the authentication to normal password.
