Attempting to install Thunderbird on an additional desktop using same address as my original computer has. That was my question:

Lin answered: Please quote any and all error messages you see, in full, verbatim. Screen shots would be OK.

Who is your email provider?

Have you compared all account settings, not just the email and password? 

Here's my answer to those questions: "Authentication error" "probably wrong configuration, username or password."

My email provider is MTA (Matanuska Telephone Association) Yes, I currently use Thunderbird in my other desk top and it works fine.

PLEASE stay with original thread when posting here. Posting twice just causes confusion and extra work. You might also do this: - post screenshots of your server setup from the PC that works, and the same screenshots from the PC where it does not work. That may be very helpful. thank you. If unsure where these are located, I attached screenshots to assist.
