Thunderbird and fiber optic upgrade











up vote

favorite












I am with ATT in Houston. Recently my neighborhood received fiber and I upgraded.



I tested Internet, phone, and TV. Did not think to test email. Somehow email broke. Thunderbird takes like 30 seconds to time out and I get an error message server returned an error. If I use the browser (mail.yahoo.com) I get email. I even get test messages I sent to myself from Thunderbird. I have an email in mail.yahoo.com invalid device identified and blocked and ATT claims to have removed the block.



Exact message:
Sending of password for user xxxyyy@att.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Server error - Please try again later.



I installed the latest upgrade to Thunderbird.



Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I'm not using ATT and cannot test, but according to all the user testimonies
I have read, calling ATT Support does not solve the problem.
Here are some suggestions for what worked for some people:




  1. Sign into your AT&T Webmail account, sometimes it helps.


  2. Increasing the send/receive to 15 minutes or try on hours of low traffic,
    will tell if the problem is ATT traffic congestion.



  3. Create a secure mail key (profile->sign-in info->secure mail key) and use it in place of your POP/IMAP and smtp server password.
    For more information see also the items marked as solution on these posts:




    • Unable to receive e-mail thru thunderbird

    • Sending of password for user @bellsouth.net did not succeed



  4. Do this ATT Troubleshooting.

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
