Thunderbird Server Error Please Try Again Later
Post server inbound.att.net responded: Server fault - Please endeavour once again later.
For a month now i of my 5 e-mail addresses, which formerly worked simply dandy, returns this message, upon opening Thunderbird: "Sending of password for user (my e-mail address)@att.cyberspace did non succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Server fault - Please endeavor over again later." I've checked both Tools/business relationship settings, and Tools/options, and also checked my (hidden) passwords for all 5 accounts. I can't find anything Dissimilar on the one that doesn't work. When I try SENDING a message from this same problematic email account, I go this message: "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is right in your account settings and try over again." I've tried running in Condom mode, but that does not solve the trouble.
Hmmmm. . .

I recollect the settings for all your accounts are becoming increasingly complex, with all the conflicting advice, that I'd suggest yous create a new profile, and add one account with the AT&T recommended settings, and use a secure postal service key in place of the regular account password. Confirm that the account can ship and receive, then add another business relationship one time the first one is working. Give each account a distinct Account Proper name, and each smtp a distinct Description. Accept each account send through an smtp server which has the same User Proper name and password (mail central) as the incoming account. (Select the business relationship in the left pane of Account Settings, gear up the smtp in Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the right pane).
Once you have two accounts working properly, add the balance in the aforementioned mode. Later, yous tin ever transfer data such as Local Folders, address books etc. from the onetime profile to the new one. Help/Troubleshooting Information, nigh:profiles to create and launch multiple profiles.

Thanks, Toad (I'm hoping we are on a kickoff-name basis : ), for your advice, but I'm still puzzled by just one thing:
If I demand to update my settings, to get the trouble address to work but have not done then yet, why exercise iv of my e-mail addresses piece of work fine, but just 1 returns that error message every time I open TB? I ask this because I cannot discover any difference in settings between the working addresses and the declining-to-work accost. Hmmmm, Bruce

perhaps iv accounts are in a western United states cluster of servers and the other is in an eastern states one. Connecting to a server proper name at a big provider is not a one to i relationship. the load balancer could dump your connection on whatsoever of a number of machines. If 1 is wrongly configured or updated alee of the residual, then you lot volition see different results with identical settings.
Have yous tried checking on web mail that the account is actually agile? I accept received some truly weird mistake messages over the years when the provider suspends the account for some reason.

There was an issue some months agone I think where 'mailbox unavailable' appeared when the sending business relationship had a Reply-to Address in Business relationship Settings that was dissimilar from the sending address (which it normally is). The Reply-to Address wasn't 'authorized' on the provider'south webmail site. A possible factor here?

There is also this silly Yahoo push button to remove less secure apps and enforce app passwords.
Try irresolute the server name in outgoing servers (SMTP) from the ATT provided one of outbound.att.net to smtp.mail.yahoo.com authentication method in approachable servers (SMTP) to oAuth2.0.
I would non advise the modify, except in another thread hither this week, yahoo support told an ATT client that was having document issues to change the incoming server name from the ATT 1 to the yahoo ane, and so if it works for incoming, information technology well-nigh likely works for outgoing. No harm in trying anyway.
If that works, perhaps consider using the yahoo server settings for the incoming likewise, that way you can use oAuth2.0 hallmark for everything and the whole email mess becomes simpler.

Dear SF, Thanks for the information. I spent awhile wandering around my webmail site, but couldn't detect anything that was a "Answer to" choice.

And for Matt, YOur patience with me is impressive! I tried changing the server name and authentication method but am sad to study the same error bulletin still pops united states when I attempt to send, or receive messages from my troubled account. Bruce

Logon to webmail account - whatever password gets you access is the same password y'all use in Thunderbird.
In webmail account you need to select the option to employ 'less secure apps' or Gmail will deliberately block y'all.
Check Thunderbird does accept the right countersign and user proper name. Username volition exist the full gmail email address.
Menu app icon > Options > Options > Security > 'Passwords' tab click on 'Saved Passwords' click on 'Prove Passwords' It should have two lines for gmail, mailbox and smtp. You lot can edit by correct clicking on each line and selecting eg: Edit Password. click on 'Close' when finished
