Wow! SeaMonkey 2.531. I missed a few versions. ;)
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
message didn't leave my computer. Here is the window that I

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
Lost? Your email account might have been hacked like mine was a month
ago.
See if you can logon to AOL web mail with it. If not, follow their
guidelines for a lost or stolen password to reclaim your account.
Dave
My AOL account and my Verizon account have have always had two
different
passwords. My Verizon mail is the one I can't access to send a message.
The AOL account will now let me send email messages.
Frog
I don't know about you, but I have had my Verizon email address for a
long time. When they passed things over to AOL in 2017 I had to login
to AOL in the browser with my Verizon email address and password. I
suggest you try logging onto AOL in the browser with your full Verizon
email address as the username with your expected password. If it works,
you know you have some sort of a configuration problem. If it does not
work you might have been hacked.
Dave
Thanks for your help message.
I am about pull my hair out at this point. I am not what you would
call a tech person. I was using my computer without any difficulties
when all of a sudden I could not send a message via my old original
Verizon path. Before I go any further, I normally use SeaMonkey for
most of my computer activities. I have always been able to send and
receive messages via SeaMonkey...now I can do everything except send
messages. I also set up a second way of sending messages via the AOL
setup. The AOL setup allows me to send and receive messages without
any problem. I have checked all the SeaMonkey settings against those
employed by AOL and they are the same. I continue to spend much time
on resolving this problem.
Frog
Are you sure that the SMTP for AOL is identical to the SMTP for Verizon?
smtp.aol.com for AOL
smtp.verizon.net for Verizon
That what I get from Thunderbird's account setup wizard.
