Problem 1:
In order to facilitate troubleshooting, please post the complete
error message. Which incoming mail server are you using?
Problem 2:
What you are experiencing is normal, see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx
As a general rule, the owner of the SMTP server must be the same
as the one providing your Internet connection at that moment.
However, you should be able to use the AT&T SMTP server for
both accounts, since AT&T uses a non-25 port (465) for SMTP,
which is not blocked like port 25 is.

Subject: [H] Thunderbird Problems (the Email not the car!)
I've tried looking up these two problems on the net and the answers
are all over the place, maybe someone here has some real experience.
Problem 1: AT&T
AT&T keeps telling me to set SSL on for both incoming and outgoing
mail. When I set it for incoming mail, I can't get any and the error
message is that the server does not support SSL.
Answer from AT&T: We don't support Thunderbird, but we can send you
over to Support Plus!
Temporary Solution: Turn off SSL and I get email. It's worked for
the past few months.
Problem 2: Cox HSI
My house has both Cox (my wife) and AT&T (me), when I try to use my
cox email address over the AT&T DSL, I can receive mail, but not send
it. Error is that the Server is not responding.
Answer from Cox: We don't support Thunderbird.
Temporary Solution: None, tried all sorts of options, nothing seems to work.
Any ideas? Experience?
Thanks....Steve
