After the latest Thunderbird update, one of my bellsouth.net email accounts was unable to get and this was fixed by using a Secure Mail Key instead of the usual password. I was very relieved. However, tonight as I tried to send messages using that account for the first time again, Thunderbird crashed. I have found that I do not now have an smtp outgoing server. I do not know how that was lost. How can I fix that problem? So much frustration has come since the last update a few days ago. So - I have a Secure Mail Key and can receive messages. Unlike my other bellsouth.net accounts, this one has no smtp server, no smtp://outbound.att.net. Thank you for any help.

Tools/Account Settings, Outgoing Server (SMTP) at the bottom of the left pane, add the outbound.att.net server on port 465, SSL/TLS, normal password, give it a unique Description, and User Name = email address of the corresponding bellsouth account. Then, select the bellsouth account in the left pane, and select the new smtp in the Outgoing Server (SMTP) drop-down in the right pane.

sfhowes, you once again saved me. What you helped me accomplish last night took care of receiving messages. And tonight in sending messages. I had to use the secure mail key as the password - which makes sense. Interesting in that the last sentence of your message never transpired for me in reality: "Then, select the bellsouth account in the left pane, and select the new smtp in the Outgoing Server (SMTP) drop-down in the right pane." I just had that one box with the information filled in. There was no left pane or right pane that showed up afterward - just to click OK and that was it. And it seems to be working well. I suppose I will be nervous for another day. I am so glad to know that you are willing to be super helpful. Bob

I had this problem with my att.net account here in Houston. It suddenly went bonkers. After spending hours on the phone with ATT support and got no solution, I found this solution and it worked. The only response I got from ATT support was that they did not support Thunderbird which I have used for many years with my att.net email and have always found it superb. Thanks for posting this solution.
