Problem 1: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=866485&p=4755585
Seems at least others have the same problem...
Problem 2:
Usually you will ONLY be able to use the SMTP servers of whatever ISP
you are actually connected to. So if you're connected to Cox, you need
to use the Cox SMTP server, even though you're sending AT&T. You can
have multiple SMTP servers set up in Thunderbird and pick which one to
use on the fly.

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
