Connection Security: None
Are you kidding me? You set up 'Connection Security' to 'none'? Why? Set it to 'SSL/TLS'.
Also set 'Authentication method' to 'OAuth2'.
OAuth2 SSL/TLS not supported by suddenlink. Tried several settings. no working. This is the fourth machine on this network, with the problem.
If this problem started Friday then the problem is most likely that Suddenlink has stopped supporting SMTP server on the legacy port 587.
Resolution is to change the values in Thunderbird. Highlight the email account - click on "View Settings for this Account" - Edit SMTP Server. Change the Connection Security to SSL/TSL. Port should now be 465, connection security now SSL/TLS and authentication method now Normal Password. Press okay, press okay and retry.

Apologies, I was looking at the Gmail SMTP, not Suddenlink.
If it still doesn't work with the suggested settings above, then your anti-virus software may be involved. Report back if that's the case.
