I just downloaded the newest version of Thunderbird. I am having problems getting it set up to work like it was before. Under incoming, I have in my settings inbound.att.net, under port #995. And outoing, I have outbound.att.net, under port #465. I got these instructions from this page, right here: https://www.att.com/support/article/email-support/KM1010523/ I can get my incoming e-mail's, but the outgoing one, it consistently asks me for my password, and then brings up this screen: I can log on to web mail account, and that is what I have been doing since this problem started, but I would like to fix it!

When you see the password prompt, enter the same secure mail key that is used to receive mail. Instructions are on the same att.com support page.
