All of a sudden I can't send messages on my AT&T account. I get a message that Thunderbird cannot connect to server (STMP). Called AT&T and they verified all the settings; I can access my email account on Apple Mail and through Yahoo (AT&T's email provider) yet I cannot send messages on Thunderbird. I can receive but not send.

I did try deleting the account and re-establishing it however that did not help. Anybody else have this issue?

Christ1,

Thanks for the advice.

Even setting up a new account didn't work. Despite AT&T's claim that there wasn't an issue with their servers and taking me through a number of steps to see what was causing the issue, it magically disappeared as quickly as it came a couple of hours after all the machinations. So, still don't know what caused it but it's gone.
