And the port *must* be 465: Server name: outbound.att.net Port: 465 Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password User Name: u...@sbcglobal.net See: <http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?cv=803&sid=KB401570&title=What+are+my+email+server+settings+%28i.e.%2C+POP+and+SMTP%29%3F#fbid=hDrFthVP5Ni> Note at the bottom of the page: AT&T's POP/SMTP settings have changed to inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net, but if you are using the old server settings (pop.att.yahoo.com and smtp.att.yahoo.com), they will continue to work. You do not have to change them at this time. I use the old settings (pop.att.yahoo.com & smtp.att.yahoo.com) and they work just fine (for me). So you might want to give those a try. Particularly given forum posts like this: <http://forums.att.com/t5/Email-Internet-Security/email-authentication-fails-to-inbound-att-net/td-p/3230177> If they don't make a difference, then you can always easily change back to inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net. Regardless, I very much doubt that your issue is related to SeaMonkey directly. And is more likely related to your ISP settings (or your ISP's servers). _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
