User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4430.93 Safari/537.36 Edg/90.0.818.56

Steps to reproduce:

In MacOS 10.12.6 using Thunderbird 90.0b1,

Compose an email message. Hit Send.

Actual results:

Instead of message going out as it should, this error message pops up:

"Send Message Error
Sending of the message failed."

Expected results:

Message should have been sent normally.

Thanks for reporting, can you provide some debug logs with the following steps:

  1. go to the Config Editor, set mailnews.smtp.loglevel to All
  2. open DevTools and select the Console tab, clear any existing logs
  3. send a mail, debug logs should show up in the Console tab
  4. copy/paste the logs here

I'm new at reading logs, so I'm guessing that the below is the right part of the logs. It is from the bottom of the log scroll. I hope that's the latest part? (Or is it the latest at the top of the scroll?)

Another comment is that the problem doesn't happen 100% of the time. About 1-2 times a day I can send send an email normally, but 95% of the time, I can't as above. :(

Also, I tried downgrading to TB 78.11 and the problem was still there!

Seems you forgot to go to the Config Editor, set mailnews.smtp.loglevel to All

mailnews.smtp: Possible auth methods: SmtpClient.jsm:898:17
mailnews.smtp: Maximum allowd message size: 52428800 SmtpClient.jsm:904:19
mailnews.smtp: Error: No available auth method.

From this log and the fact that TB 78 also doesn't work, I think your config maybe incorrect. Can you share your SMTP config?

Attached image stmp settings.jpeg

The above image (I believe) is my config information.

Let me know please if that's not the right stuff, thanks.

Thanks, that looks correct. Can you try comment 1 again to get the full debug logs? I have an idea about what might be wrong, but need to be confirmed by your logs.

Ok, this is everything from the Console
Thanks

From comment 5, you're using Encrypted password, from the logs, your SMTP server supports 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN. You need to change the authentication method to Normal password, then it will work.

Thanks so much for your responses and the work you do on TB.

The recommendation Ping Chen gave about changing my password to Normal has worked, thanks!

BUT, there was one small wrinkle.

Right AFTER I changed the password status to normal, a few times I again got the same error message (see message directly above this one) as before.

Interestingly, when I clicked on OK, and then attempted to send the same email again, it went out just fine.

This was replicated, as it happened around 3 times, all in the space of a day or two.

The phenomena then stopped happening, and hasn't recurred since.

FYI,

Tim

Can you please try again and report back when TB 90.0b2 is released, thanks.
