SMTP auth error when sending the first message of the session
I have 2 clients a configuration with 4 IMAP accouns, 2 of which are email addresses of the domain @virgilio.it.
The 2 virgilio account work regoularly, except when sending the first message after starting a thunderbird session. Every time one OR the other account asks for the smtp password. Then I click on retry one or maybe two times and it starts to work normally.
I attach a log of the smtp session:

Does your anti virus have a password vault type function?
Have you tried disabling the anti virus outgoing mail scanner?
They have norton internet security. I did not try to disable it, but I don't have an antivirus and I experience the same problem when I configure a new thunderbird on my workstation.
Looks like a server problem. It behaves the same way using other clients too, so nevermind.
You speak like this is a workplace. in that situation there may well be an edge appliance or corporate spam filter/firewall that is causing you issues. This may also be an issue if they have an internal mail server. sending mail ports might be automatically routed to the mail server and it takes time to establish a route to the server you are attempting to connect to.
