Use the Account Settings dialog and at bottom left select the SMTP
Outgoing item. On the right you can add more server entries.

Then go up to each account that is serviced by the new entries and use
the drop down to replace the default with one of the new entries.

Now you should have each account with matching in and out servers. That
should stop the error messages your getting.

Thank you Ron - that was speedy :-)

I have only one SMTP server - smtp.att.yahoo.com

It seems I have only two choices
smtp.att.yahoo.com(Default) and Default server.
For the first (top) user name I have used the
smtp.att.yahoo.com server and
that user's name is the username on the smtp
setting. Mails go out from this
address ok

All the lower addresses have Default for SMTP
server.

To complicate this a bit further, none of these
user names have email address of the ATT account
holder. I tried this username on the SMTP but it
did not work.

Before I switched the lower users to the Default
SMTP I had each one on the smtp.att.yahoo.com
but that didn't work either.

Could you explain your SMTP server settings again
for each user?

May be easier if you list the account and what ISP is providing the
incoming mailbox for the account. Usually each ISP has there own
outbound SMTP server. In other words, if the account is from Googles
gmail then the gmail SMTP server should be configured for that account
so the user identity matches and gmail will happily process your sent mail.

That is why I said, set up the other SMTP servers first. Because then
when readjusting the gmail account the gmail SMTP server will be in the
list of server options to select from. I am simply using gmail as an
example.

Thanks again Ron but my situation is much simpler.

One email address is a Hotmail one. Let's forget
about that one for now.

All other addresses are ATT.Yahoo. Only one
ATT.yahoo address can send out via
SMTP.ATT.Yahoo.com. All others can't. Is it
possible to set up an SMTP server account for each
of the other ATT.Yahoo accounts? - so that each
ATT.Yahoo user's name would then be in the
Security and Authentication window of Server
Settings for that account. Apart from the user's
name, all other settings in all the SMTP servers
would be the same.

OK, sounds like You have a plan. Yes, several entries could be for the
same server and include the distinctive athentication that each identity
has. Give each outgoing setup a name that coordinates with the account.

Have you tried setting up the other addresses as additional
identities under the primary account (the one that works)?

Tools --> Account Settings --> [Account name] --> Manage Identities...

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbir...ple_Identities
for additional information. There's also another current thread in
this group, with the Subject: Help with multiple aliases... which
addresses much the same situation. You might want to take a look at
that as well.

Thanks Ken for your input. I will follow your
suggestion shortly.

For most of a year I had no problems getting all
my email addresses to send
via the same ATT-Yahoo SMTP server. I had not made
any entries in the Manage Identities at that time.
Then all stopped sending, except one - the one
whose name was on the SMTP authentication.

I went to the ATT-Yahoo website and changed all my
passwords. Then I set up all the email addresses
on TB 2.0.0.12 with the same passwords. All worked
perfectly for a couple of weeks and then all
stopped sending except one. I spent 20 mins on the
ATT-Yahoo chat last night and the guy answering
knew almost nothing.

I have just been reading the forums.mozalline.org
and there was an incidence of a similar problem
with a pacbell address - it seems that ATT made
some changes. My guess is that they are trying to
resurrect the old ATT by dropping the pacbell,
sbc, etc names or somehow modifying them. Recently
sbc.yahoo.com became att.yahoo.com.

Ken, I set up all the addresses in the Manage
Identities and it made NO difference.
Seems like we have a half-baked lump of bloat

Ken, I set up all the addresses in the Manage
Identities and it made NO difference.

This question now related to verification, so I
have started a new thread for it.

Thanks for your suggestion.
