I have three external e-mail accounts which I can go to INDIVIDUALLY and
use.
How do you "go to" them individually? If you're logging in to webmail,
that uses completely different protocols.
I also am attempting to use those accounts FROM the SM E-mail Suite - and I
run into a problem with Frontier.com.
Did it previously work through SM Mail, or is this the first time you're
setting the account up?
Every time I attempt to SEND a message using the Frontier account, I get
an error
message "Login to Server Failed".
I got on a Frontier.com Chat room and they said that I need to contact
Mozilla to
solve this problem. As always - it is someone else's fault........
I took a screen shot of my Mail & News group setting for the Frontier
Account.
Does it help ? I am too dumb to know what to even ask ! see link

As Walt and Ray mentioned, POP is for receiving mail while SMTP is for
sending.
- Select the main "[email protected]" header in the left panel of Mail &
Newsgroups Account Settings, and look at the setting for "Outgoing
Server (SMTP)" in the right panel.
- Now scroll to the bottom of the left panel and select "Outgoing Server
(SMTP)".
- In the right panel, select the server which was indicated by your
Frontier.com account settings, and click "Edit".
- Those are the settings which affect sending mail. Check that they
match the settings on the frontier.com page Walt linked

Is Frontier the ISP you use to connect to the Internet? If not, another
possibility is that your ISP might block access to SMTP servers other
than their own. That used to be quite common when SMTP servers were
mostly unauthenticated, but not sure that it's as common now,
particularly if the server you're connecting to uses encryption and
authentication as it looks like Frontier's does.
