All of a sudden my TB email will not download or send emails. When I try to download I get this message "Sending of password for user xxxxxx@swbell.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.att.yahoo.com responded: Server error - Please try again later." When I try to send an email I get "Login to server smtp.att.yahoo.com with username mpusley@swbell.net failed". I had AT&T change my password and I can login via web mail but then I can't see all my email folders. Server setting is pop.att.yahoo.com and smtp is smtp.att.yahoo.com

The correct settings for swbell.net accounts are here:

https://www.att.com/support/article/dsl-high-speed/KM1010523/

POP: inbound.att.net on 995, SSL/TLS; outbound.att.net on 465, SSL/TLS.

Use IMAP to access all your folders; POP only downloads the Inbox.

Generate a secure mail key and use that in TB instead of the account password.
