I have Att.net mail and when I quit receiving emails, got a secure authentication key from ATT.net. I now receive emails but can't send because it's looking for a password. I don't have a password for outbound nor can I change whatever password I have. What can I do to send emails?

The outbound server should use the same key for a password as the incoming, if they have the same User Name (email address). Check that there are no passwords in Saved Passwords in Options/Privacy & Security, only the secure key.
