I have used Thunderbird for about a year, but I can no longer send emails. Whenever I try, I get a "login to server failed" error message. I have not changed any outgoing settings. I can login to my email provider with my email address and password with no problem. I have tried the suggestions found in the forum help: Verify smtp settings, delete smtp password, run in safe mode, turned off my security software (Norton Security). Any help would be appreciated.

I just found out what was preventing me from sending emails. My VPN (PIA) was blocking them. I sent a message to PIA describing the issue. So I can either turn off my VPN before sending emails or PIA will correct it. Thanks for your help.

SMTP port 587 usually requires some type of connection security. You have it set to None Try STARTTLS.

When I try to send an email, I get the message "Login to server smtp-server.twcny.rr.com failed" followed by the "Retry", "Enter new password", and "Cancel" buttons. "Retry" does not work. "Enter new password" with the correct password does not work. "Cancel" works.
