Can now receive e-mail but cannot send
I mucked up my decades old Thunderbird e-mail account on my desktop. After a password change in Spectrum webmail, I lost the ability to receive and send e-mails using my old pop-server account. I tried many things at this communities recommendations but no success. So I changed the name of my old e-mail address and then created a new email account with my former e-mail name and also set up the new e-mail account to an IMAP account. Then when prompted for a password, I correctly inputted the Spectrum webmail password and now I receive e-mails to this account on Thunderbird! Hurray!! However, I still cannot send out e-mails from this account as I get the message that the outgoing server "(SMTP) mail.twc.com" timed out. And no - it is not an antivirus issue.
By the way, my phone e-mail account of the same address is able to send out e-mail messages. However, I wish to handle my most sensitive messages to send off of my desktop version of the same e-mail address and that is where I am not able to send an e-mail.
Yikes - Thunderbird.

Hello zbadger,
the SMTP server is not accessible. Did you have the access set up automatically - or manually? Is the name possibly out of date? You should be able to clarify this with Spectrum support.

Where do I check whether access is automatic or manual. I know I saw that somewhere but can no longer find it now.
Also I checked with Spectrum and my settings as far as name and port are correct.
Everything is correct. Is there a way I can go back in time to last week and reset Thunderbird?
And if not should I just delete thunderbird again and start over?
locking, because this is solved in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1537355
