Local directory path not suitable for message storage?
I received an error saying 'The Local Directory path C:\\Users\\RER-KU\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\q2hrwh2q.default\Mail\Local Folders" is not suitable for message storage. Please choose another directory.'
I cannot receive any emails, and also received the error 'Sending of password for user 'rerlaroberts@att.net' did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Server error - Please try again later.'
I have had the same issue for 3 days now with no luck.

So we have multiple issues here.
1.

2. Password issues on ATT. That is about as vanilla as it gets around here, for reasons best understood by ATT you need to use a mailkey you get from their website, not your ATT password, to retreive email.
Recent changes mean that oAuth authentication can also be used with ATT, but I am not sure if they have arrived at a release version as yet. If it is an option use it instead of a password.
Note that "Server error" part is usually reported by folk using their ATT password for mail instead of a mailkey when asked for their password.
