Thunderbird for Android insists on setting outbound.att.net:465

but ATTmail wants smtp.mail.att.net port 465 and I've not yet found a way to bypass Thunderbird's "I know better than you"

The incoming is correct at imap.mail.att.net:993 Settings for POP3 are inbound.att.net 995 outbound.att.net 465

IMAP was imap.mail.att.net 993 smtp.mail.att.net 465 the last time I set up an Android phone...

How do I bypass the "I know better" process?

Hi carter5922

During account setup wizard.

  3. Tap the "configuration found" box
  4. Tap it's edit button.
  5. The incoming imap/pop server configuration is displayed. Tap next
  6. The outgoing SMTP server configuration is displayed.
  7. Apply your SMTP changes. Click next.

You can enter your settings at step 7.

To change an existing account's configuration. Navigate to ... settings > account name > fetching mail > incoming server settings > account name > sending mail > outgoing server
