Sending AT&T E-mail I am asked for PW. It won't accept my PW

A friend of mine and I both have the same problem with AT&T E-Mail . I have SSL on. When I try to send an Email I am asked for a password. I have entered every password I know and it will not accept any of them. If I turn SSL off then I can send OK. What password is it asking for? Both me and my friend are new to AT&T. If my wife doesn't get this resolved soon we will have to get rid of AT&T.

I chatted with AT&T for awhile but that didn't help. The E-mail I was using was not an ATT E-mail and I had defined it to ATT.Yahoo.com. I could send an E-mail if I turned off SSL. but I need to have it on. I looked at the account settings in Thunderbird and thought I'd plug the address into the "Reply-to Address" field since it was not an att.net. THAT FIXED IT. I didn't find that documented anywhere.

Now my problem is that I can't receive an E-mail from my 3rd party server. I chatted with ATT support which didn't help. It was complaining about fpostoffice.isp.att.net for a POP server. I changed it to pop.att.net That made it better but didn't fix it. I still couldn't receive anything on my Thunderbird ID (I could receive on my att ID (me@att.net)) It kept timing out. I was using port 995 with SSL turned on. I finally turned SSP off on the pop server and changed to port 110. Now I can receive from my 3rd party POP server. I think att yahoo has a bug in their code. Does anyone know if this is a problem to run with no SSL on your POP server?

Rdj5417,

It's odd currently I'm using MS outlook and it's asking me for my password when trying to login and get my mail. I believe there's something going on with the server or perhaps they did like they so often do and made a change without telling anyone.
