Everytime I try to send mail I get the message Login to server smtp.centurylink.net failed and am asked to reenter my password. I've tried reentering password and still doesn't help, I close box and get Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.centurylink.net for an unknown reason. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again. I haven't changed any settings and have used Thunderbird for several years. Now using version 38.5.1
