If you use AT&T with your Thunderbird account - Let me know how you got beyond the Server Password requirement. According to AT&T - no server Password exists.

I can not get beyond the request box asking me to enter my server password. I called ATT tech support and all my settings are correct and there is no password. Any suggestions besides forget Thunderbird?

According to ATT you must use a mailkey instead of your password. So my suggestion is forget ATT not Thunderird.

AT&T tech set up a mail key and that not work either. After 75 minutes of tech help - AT&T gave up. I appreciate your response. I gather there are no AT&T users.

There are many (likely tens of thousands if not more) Thunderbird users who use ATT.
