You have to use the server settings which are dictated by the server. Do not try to send without authentication because the server may think you are a scammer and end up blocking your access.

But at this point I've got no idea what server you are talking about. So you need to let us know what server you are talking about. What server settings you have at this point in time,

You say it only asking each time you want to send emails.

REcently we've seen several posts from people using a Microsoft server. Microsoft have recently altered alot of things - so if you have a Microsoft account, outlook.com, hotmail.com, msn.com, live.com then please tell us because several things may need to be set up.

Please post this info: In Thunderbird Help > Troubleshooting Information Scroll down to 'Mail and News Accounts' Copy all the data and paste it into this forum question OR post an image showing the information. You could post images of Account Server Settings and SMTP settings.

Repeat: Please post this info:

• In Thunderbird
• 'Help' > 'Troubleshooting Information'
• Scroll down to 'Mail and News Accounts' section

Copy all the data in that section and paste it into this forum question OR post an image showing the information. You could post images of 'Account Settings' > 'Server Settings' and 'SMTP' settings.

Thanks Toad Hall
