Your comment is useful as a better way to work around the problem, but if others have seen (or not) this behavior info would be useful. I have gone back to 1.1.8 because it keeps asking for my password when attempting to send emails, even when it seems to have the correct one. On returning to 1.1.8 it all works perfectly.

Problem with imported e-mail profile Seamonkey 2.0
When I tried to send e-mail with Seamonkey 2.0, I kept getting the following message: Sending of message failed. An error occurred sending mail: Unable to authenticate to SMTP server mailhost.worldnet.att.net. It does not support authentication (SMTP-AUTH) but you have chosen to use authentication. Uncheck 'Use name and password' for that server or contact your service provider. Going over the Mail Account Settings, nowhere did I have checked any type of authentication request. The only way I could correct this was to manually edit prefs.js. There was a line user_pref(mail.smtpserver.smtp1.auth_method, 1); which I assumed must be causing the problem. I changed the 1 to 0 and could then send e-mail. Is this a known bug? Is it a change between Seamonkey 1.1.18 and 2.0? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
