I created a new alias following thunderbird instructions. However, when I try to send email through thunderbird using the new alias, I get the following error message:

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: You are not authorized to send mail as <email deleted for privacy>. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Please help. Thanks, halpen

Hello, thanks for your help! I use Bell sympatico mail in Canada, so it's set up to go through smtphm.sympatico.ca which is my default sever. what you are describing above may indeed be the problem. i will look into that.

when you say add a new account, do you mean create a new account in thunderbird instead of a new identity?
