I Agree, it has been doing this exact thing to me on three different computers with three different email addresses on att.net for several months. No one seems concerned. Sometimes I have to send as many as seven times before it finally is accepted. ATT/Yahoo is no help, either.

Date: Tue, 05 Jul 2011 16:46:27 -0400 From: Rostyslaw Lewyckyj <[email protected]> To: [email protected] I'm using SM 2.0.14 . For this account according to the account settings: - I am connecting to pop.att.yahoo.net:995 . - The outgoing server (SMTP) is [email protected] - smtp.att.y... (I'm guessing that's smtp.att.yahoo.net . But the box for entering the entry doesn't scroll. So I can not verify the name) - Connection security is SSL/TLS and the check box for 'Use secure authentication' is unchecked [By the way, the account editing window can not be re-sized. For server settings, it is too narrow so that the boxes for 'advanced' and 'browse' are truncated on the right. Has the window been made re-sizable now for 2.1+ ] Recently my system has begun to issue the following error when I try to send out emails on this account: "Sending of message failed. An error occurred sending mail: Unable to authenticate to SMTP server smtp.att.yahoo.com. 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 server provider" NOTE: This is not a hard error. If I wait a minute or two and retry sending the message, it is sent out successfully. So who's to blame? AND how do I get rid of this annoyance? -- Rostyk _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
