I have been a Firefox user for well over ten years. On Friday I accessed my emails without any problem. However, this morning I could not. I checked with my service (sbcglobal.net) to confirm my password. I then went to the password manager on Firefox to see if it was the same and it was. But when I click "Get Messages" I get an error message "Sending of password for user drumfamily@sbcglobal.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.att.yahoo.com responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later." I have tried this a number of times over two hours and still get this message. Any suggestions.

The correct AT&T POP server is inbound.att.net on 995, SSL/TLS, normal password authentication, but you must use a secure mail key in TB in place of the account password:
