Att Email will work on Att Web Site but same Password will not work in Thunderbird
I have been using Thunderbird for years. Yesterday it quit working. I reinstalled 2 of my Emails and they slowly started to work. My Email, reb68@att.net. says the Password is wrong. I went to Att's web site and the mail came up there with the same password and username. Now I cannot reinstall it because it says invalid username or password. I am using Thunderbird 45.2.0
My Email that is working is reb@barmannsbar.com Thank you Dick Barmann

I tried setting up that Email about a dozen times. I set it up in my desktop PC and it worked the first time. about 30 minutes later I tried it again in the laptop and it worked like it should. I do not know what the solution is but it is solved now.

Have you rebooted your machine? Disabled email scanning in your anti virus? Contacted ATT to see if they have a mail outage?
I tried all that you mentioned. I go to add Email and enter the name--reb68@att.net and enter the password ( which I know is right because I can go to the web site att.net ands go to Mail and enter the same as above and get 60 Emails.I do not understand it because I have used Thunderbird for a long time and never had a problem. Thank you for any help, Dick Barmann
To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
- Restart the operating system in safe mode with Networking. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, OSX
- If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.
