I'm getting a "Login Failed" message for outgoing mail. I checked all settings and everything is correct. I tried trouble shooting but nothing works
I am getting emails fine on my phone and through web-mail but for some reason i can't send outgoing mail from two of my email addresses when using Thunderbird. I recently changed my password but didn't notice any issues until today. I verified the correct password is registered with Thunderbird but Thunderbird keeps giving me a "login Failed" Message. It States "Login to server****************.com with username *************** failed. Click "RETRY, ENTER NEW PASSWORD, CANCEL." After clicking cancel, a "send message error" populates. "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent using outgoing server (SMTP) ********************.com for unknown reason. Please verify that your outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again."
Its the same settings as i had in there before i changed the password... The settings are correct.

If you can provide a screenshot of your current settings we could help compare them to the information InMotion is providing under SSL Settings.

It's difficult to tackle this without knowing who your email provider is. Have you contacted them ?
In some cases even if you have password credentials properly saved the email server may have changed authentication methods and may have to be re-created to take them into account (for example GMail with OAth).
InMotionhosting is the email provider. And yes I did call and speak with their tech support. They said it’s thunderbird issue. It doesn’t relate to their server as I’m getting emails fine on my phone. It’s only when I attempt to send out an email while using thunderbird whereupon messages don’t get sent and I end up getting this fail message.
