JRS,
Please excuse my continued confusion.
I did get to the "att.net" support faqs. Yes, I did find several articles that speak to Eudora and Thunderbird...........
But,
These articles seem to speak to existing folk that are part of ATT.NET; not us add-ins from Bellsouth.net. Sorry to be so dense...........

Have I now been promoted to ATT.NET? My UID/PW has not changed. If so, I will create the new Eudora Persona per the FAQs I've read so far.
Did print all the Thunderbird stuff for further study...........

BTW, ATT.net does not accept SSL transaction from Eudora v5.0.2 and earlier. I use v5.1.1 (paid). There is a pointer to Eudora v7.0.1, but I choose not to accept a "free" version with ADs.
I would rather just retire Eudora and move to Thunderbird.............. :)
Thank you.
Best,
Duncan

For fun I'd being trying OE (just to test). As to Thunderbird not
working I find that highly suspect and would guess there's
something wrong with it's setup.

OK. My Thunderbird settings are wrong.
When I open I get an immediate:
/Alert/
"Mail Server does not support secure authentication."

I suppose this means I AM going thru a proxy?
Only because ATT/Bellsouth 'says' that I NEED to now use secure
authentication.  To which, I read using the new ports and "SSL."
Where have I gone south?

Other than the "Secure Authentication" settings of TBird to back off
of, any additional help?
Thanks,
Duncan
