I have used Thunderbird with Plus Net for a few Years and for the last 2 Years I have also used them on a second Computer in my Apartment in Spain without any problems

I am in Spain now but for the last 2 Days I can receive Emails but not reply or send Emails, so do not know if this problem will also apply back in England

I know that Thunderbird has Auto upgraded since I arrived in Spain 4 days ago

Every time I try to send an email it asks for my Plus Net Relay password and then does not accept my Password

I have contacted plusnet and was asked to Log into PLUSNET WEBMAIL direct were my password was accepted and I was able to send an Email so the fault is not with them

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird rebooting before reinstalling but Thunderbird then remembers all the same settings even my Address book and the problem still exists.

I have added a Screen shot of the problem

That is the same as assuming because you can buy bread at the supermarket that the problem with delivery to your door is the bread vendor (ignoring the fact they have been sacked by the manufacturer)

I would guess almost certainly the problem is with your provider, or your account configuration. You provider sets the following requirements. 

                             IMAP               POP
Incoming server 	imap.plus.net 	mail.plus.net
Incoming port 	         143 	        110
Outgoing server 	relay.plus.net 	relay.plus.net
Outgoing port 	    587 or 25 	       587 or 25
SSL/TLS 	                No 	                       No
SMTP Authentication 	Yes

SMTP Authentication only needed if you're sending emails from a non-Plusnet Internet connection). This is only available if you've got an active Plusnet broadband account.

So the first question is obviously do you have an active plusnet broadband account.?
