Hello at the forum,

no matter which program I use I get the same error: Sending of password for user [email]@pacbell.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Server error - Please try again later. but I'm able to login to att thru mail.yahoo.com is there something simple I'm doing wrong? I've set up for the pop mail since that's what att-yahoo uses. Thanks! ~Kirch

I also get this error: An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server imap.mail.att.net responded: it's confusing, is att, mail.yahoo a pop or imap server?

All set up for TB imap, SM pop, same error: Sending of password for user [email]@pacbell.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Server error - Please try again later. or: An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server imap.mail.att.net responded: not sure why I can no longer use the program I've used for a decade. Thanks for any ideas. ~Kirch

Still doesn't work, tried the link, pop, imap, gets: An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server imap.mail.att.net responded: happens about once every 5yrs or so, then I have to rely on the web email for weeks until it gets resolved again. It's a slow process I guess. Used the secure key... nada... ~Kirch
