Many
Most SMTP servers are setup to restrict use to subscribers only.  In 
Account Settings select the Outgoing Server option.  In the right panel 
select  the SMTP server.  One of the items is your user ID, if that is 
not filled in do so.  This authenticates you to the server.

Had to have laptop rebuilt and consequently reinstalled Thunderbird. 
Unfortunately I can not send mail only receive it and have to use 
Outlook express 6 to send all my mail now. I am being asked for a 
password for smtp.blueyonder.co.uk on smtp.blueyonder.co.uk (but there 
is no password for the smtp server - but incase it was requiring the 
pop3 password I have tried entering that but it is not accepted). Error 
message states " Sending of message failed.......server may be 
unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections......" All server settings 
are the same as Outlook Express.
