Hi Chris, I have changed my Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings as shown below, but I continue to receive the following message,
"Enter your password for william.klein on localhost" when I send a message from [email protected] from within Thunderbird. The table below shows Description in column 1 and server name in Column 2. The table shows that I do not have william.klein assigned to localhost. Please tell me how to send messages from yahoo within Thunderbird. Thanks, Bill Description Server name [email protected] localhost University of Toronto smtp.utoronto.ca [email protected] Localhost [blank] smtp1.sympatico.ca [blank] smtp.gmail.com plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com localhost Chris Clifton wrote: > In Thunderbird, open the "Tools", "Account Settings..."
