Well, I was finally able to get access to the laptop last night (it's away from
the house) and I tried various permutations of everything you suggested. I was
still never able to send but could always fetch with no problem. There may have
been different error messages with the various things I tried but I wasn't in a
position to record those error messages unfortunately.

I searched online for a possible solution and all I was able to find that came
close to my problem were several Thunderbird users who had similar (or
identical) error messages. Some users voicing complaints at having to spend
"hours" on the phone with Charter tech support, such as it is, to no avail.

So anyway, thanks for trying.
