User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10
Build Identifier: 3.0

My outgoing mail server uses port 587 and a TLS connection. It works perfectly under Thunderbird 2.0.0.23. When I upgraded to Thunderbird 3.0 it set "Connection security" to STARTTLS. When I tried to send a message with this setting I got "Login to server <name> failed." I had to set "Connection security" to None to make it work. Building a new profile from scratch did not change the behavior.

Reproducible: Always
Did you use "TLS" or "TLS, if available" in 2.0.0.23? I think the latter is silently upgraded now to STARTTLS during migration to avoid that ambiguity.
I used TLS

Which OS?
Windows XP
Shall try to test from win 7 (64 bit) tomorrow
FWIW, my mail server is a Microsoft product
Ours not.
Could not reproduce

SMTP:
 Windows XP
 Authenticated   
Port 25 (Unencrypted, supports TLS)  Port 587 (STARTTLS)  Port 465 (SSL)
	OK			              OK		OK
 
 Unauthenticated  
Port 25 (Unencrypted, supports TLS)  Port 587 (STARTTLS)  Port 465 (SSL)
	OK			              OK		OK

I was confused. In Thunderbird 3.0:

I can send a message when Secure Authentication is unchecked, regardless of whether Connection Security is set to STARTTLS or None.

I cannot send a message when Secure Authentication is checked, regardless of the value of Connection Security.

In Thunderbird 2.0.0.23:

I can send a message when Secure Connection is set to TLS. There is no check box marked "Use Secure Authentication".
I believe this is a duplicate of Bug 522633
