Setting Up Your Account Please Try Again Later Att
Mail server inbound.att.internet responded: Server error - Please effort again afterwards.
For a month now one of my five e-mail addresses, which formerly worked but dandy, returns this message, upon opening Thunderbird: "Sending of password for user (my e-mail accost)@att.net did non succeed. Postal service server inbound.att.cyberspace responded: Server fault - Delight try again later." I've checked both Tools/account settings, and Tools/options, and too checked my (hidden) passwords for all 5 accounts. I can't find anything DIFFERENT on the i that doesn't work. When I try SENDING a message from this aforementioned problematic email business relationship, I get this message: "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your electronic mail address is correct in your account settings and endeavour again."

I think the settings for all your accounts are becoming increasingly complex, with all the conflicting advice, that I'd suggest you create a new profile, and add ane account with the AT&T recommended settings, and utilize a secure mail key in place of the regular business relationship password. Confirm that the account can send and receive, and so add another account in one case the first one is working. Give each business relationship a singled-out Account Name, and each smtp a distinct Clarification. Have each account send through an smtp server which has the same User Name and password (mail service primal) as the incoming business relationship. (Select the business relationship in the left pane of Account Settings, set the smtp in Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the right pane).
Once you have ii accounts working properly, add the rest in the same way. Later, y'all tin always transfer data such as Local Folders, address books etc. from the old contour to the new one. Help/Troubleshooting Data, nigh:profiles to create and launch multiple profiles.

Thanks, Toad (I'm hoping we are on a first-name basis : ), for your advice, but I'm nevertheless puzzled by just one thing:
If I demand to update my settings, to get the problem address to piece of work but have non done and then yet, why do 4 of my email addresses work fine, but just one returns that fault message every time I open TB? I enquire this because I cannot find whatsoever difference in settings between the working addresses and the failing-to-work address. Hmmmm, Bruce

peradventure 4 accounts are in a western U.s. cluster of servers and the other is in an eastern states one. Connecting to a server name at a big provider is not a one to one relationship. the load balancer could dump your connection on any of a number of machines. If one is wrongly configured or updated ahead of the rest, then you will encounter different results with identical settings.
Have you tried checking on spider web mail that the account is actually agile? I accept received some truly weird error messages over the years when the provider suspends the account for some reason.

In that location was an effect some months ago I think where 'mailbox unavailable' appeared when the sending account had a Reply-to Address in Account Settings that was different from the sending address (which information technology usually is). The Reply-to Address wasn't 'authorized' on the provider'south webmail site. A possible factor here?

There is also this silly Yahoo push to remove less secure apps and enforce app passwords.
Try changing the server name in outgoing servers (SMTP) from the ATT provided i of outbound.att.net to smtp.post.yahoo.com hallmark method in approachable servers (SMTP) to oAuth2.0.
I would not propose the change, except in another thread here this week, yahoo back up told an ATT client that was having document bug to alter the incoming server proper noun from the ATT one to the yahoo one, and so if it works for incoming, it most likely works for outgoing. No harm in trying anyway.
If that works, perhaps consider using the yahoo server settings for the incoming as well, that mode y'all can use oAuth2.0 authentication for everything and the whole email mess becomes simpler.

Dear SF, Thanks for the data. I spent awhile wandering around my webmail site, but couldn't find anything that was a "Reply to" option.

I have tried removing the TB business relationship and re-adding it. I accept tried various Port numbers as more than one are indicated. Also re-changing my Google single sign-in countersign. What else should I do please? Your advice will be much appreciated. Geoff (in Kent UK)

Logon to webmail business relationship - whatever password gets you admission is the same countersign yous utilise in Thunderbird.
In webmail account yous need to select the option to use 'less secure apps' or Gmail will deliberately cake you.
Check Thunderbird does take the correct countersign and user name. Username will be the full gmail email address.
