Hello at Mozilla,

I tried the archives first and have the exact set up but the same error like others have had keeps coming up, server error, password failed, try again later, etc, yet all settings are correct. I closed my online email program, restarted TB, same error.

I also used SM for a long time, like over a decade I think. Every few years when I change out my laptop, I go through this and it takes days to re set up my email to a client.

I really like having my emails in my computer to go through on/offline. It doesn't appear SM will be supported anymore so on to TB, which looks very similar.

Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!! ~Kirch

Chosen solution

Do you have outbound.att.net on 465, SSL/TLS, authentication = normal password? What is the antivirus and its settings for scanning mail?

Not a big time noob but McAfee says I need to be admin, on my own laptop I guess and how do I crank up WD? I have it up but there is a plethora of choices... thanks again, ~Kirch

Once you remove all other AV apps, WD will (should) automatically become active. See this page for how to add Exclusions:
