Didn't SM invite you to enter your password? How did that go?
What really puzzles me is that I can reach this e-mail account via
Verizon webmail using what I wrote down as both the correct user name
and password. Accordingly, I believe neither is the problem. After
I deleted all 'Verizon ...' entries in Password Manager, when I again
tried to access the new e-mail account via SM's e-mail function, I
got the usual 'authentication failure' response.
You haven't answered my question -- when you get the authentication
failure, is
there no way out? Does SeaMonkey not prompt you to enter the correct
password?
Oh, I'm sorry. I seem to have misunderstood you. Yes, after I get the
authentication failure message the first time I try to bring up my new
Verizon e-mail account, SM prompts me to enter a new (correct) password.
When I do that, I get the authentication failure message again and,
again, SM prompts me to enter a new password. This routine seems to go
on forever but I have actually tried to enter the correct password (the
one that works with Verizon Webmail) only six times.
Since the password unfailingly works with Verizon Webmail, I can only
assume that my problem has something to do with the SM setup for this
new Verizon e-mail account. Ideas? (and thanks for sticking with me on
this).
If it's not the password -- and we seem to have ruled that out -- then I
can only fall back to the other two questions in my last post:
Bad username? (Could you have mistyped it in the SM settings?)
Edit | Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings... | <account name> | Server
Settings: User Name
Bad connection? (Probably not, if the server can hear you and reply. Can
you browse normally on the trouble system?)
You've already shown us that you have the right server name and port,
since your data match those of other FiOS users who aren't having trouble.
