Go to your Verizon accounts SMTP settings in Outgoing
Server(SMTP) Settings.
Click Edit.
Add the complete email address in the User Name: field.
Seems to be a problem since yesterday.
Thanks Walts48 for your response.
I did as you suggested with the same old results...mt test

I hope that I made the change as you suggested.

Looks good to me. It is what works in my Thunderbird's.
Did you get a password prompt, entered the password and still
can't send an email?
Yes, I did get the password prompt request and I did enter my
password---same results.
Try port 587 which is STARTTLS, I saw that in a site telling
people how to use Thunderbird with AOL. If that does not work
then you fall back to 465 = SSL/TLS, which is what the other
similar sites were suggesting.
I have several accounts and the split is 50% : 50% between the two
variations.
I changed the port number to 587 as you suggested...the default
remained 465. I attempted so send myself a message with the same
results. I then (leaving the change in place) decided to change
the Server Name from smpt.verizon.net to smpt.aol.com. I tried to
send an email test message to myself. It appeared that the message
was sent...the message never showed up in my inbox. I decided at
this point to restore things back to the original setting pending
conformation of my actions.
It looks like I got things backward, if you set "Connection
security" to STARTTLS then the Port gets set to 587 automatically.
Setting it back to SSL/TLS reverts to 465. That may be irrelevant
if you managed to send a message successfully, do you have another
victim you could send a message to and then ask if they got it?
Assuming you have managed to work out if you can send messages or
not, you can start looking at the input side of things. I sent you
a long response to your mozilla.general post a day or so, if you
can't retrieve messages you could have a look at that.
I have several email addresses so it is a lot easier to check what
is not working.
I made the change you suggested (i.e. Changing the "Connection
security" to STARTTLS and the port numbers changed to 587" as you
said they would.
I tried to send another test message and nothing happened. I then
changed the Server Name from smpt.verizon.net to smpt.aol.com. and
tried to send a message...and nothing at all happened. I then
changed every thing back to the original settings.
Yes, I did receive your earlier message and will be taking a look at
it next.
I continue to be very appreciative of your help...thank you very much.

I have come to a conclusion...I believe Verizon has lost my password.
I am noticing that I am constantly being asked for my password when
sending a message via verizon.net. Even when I give them my password,
the message fails to send. Now I've got a new challenge...how do I
get Verizon on board with my password. Any help would be appreciated.
Frog
This is the message I continue to see when I attempt to send amessage:
Send Message Error
Sending of the message failed.
As error occurred while sending mail: Could not get password
for smtp.verizon.net. The message was not sent.
OK
Do you have any thoughts what steps must be taken to fix this problem?
Frog
Make sure the Username is the full email address in your
smtp.verizon.net outgoing server settings.
When you get the error message you should be getting asked for the
password, enter it and it should work.
It worked for me with two different versions of Thunderbird.
If it doesn't work try setting up the account in a new profile.
Type about:profiles into the browser address bar.
Click the "Create a New Profile" button.
Read and understand the dialog window that pops up.
Click the "Next" button.
Enter a new profile name. Something like smtptest or verizontest.
Click the "Finish" button.
Click the "Launch profile in new browser".
Open the Mail & Newsgroups window.
Setup your Verizon email account and try sending a test email to another
account, or the same account.
