I've completed all the required information when trying to add an account to Thunderbird. The Account Hub finds my email address at Posteo and loads the configuration found out the provider. I then add my password, which I know to be correct as I've only just created it. But Thunderbird keeps telling me there is an "authentication error". I'm at a loss to know what the error is.

What is your operating system?

What is your Anti-Virus, if any?

Please quote the complete error message, or show us a screen shot of it.

It may be that you're using the wrong security and/or authentication settings. I found this page with Posteo's recommended server settings. How do they compare with yours?

Thanks for your reply. I've solved the problem! I hadn't set up the app password, which was what Thunderbird was looking for.
