email went goofy tonight
I use Thunderbird and replied to an email I received to my sbcglobal account. It sat for a minute after I hit "send" then came back and said my outgoing password was wrong. Nope. I even used the key code when I set this account up a month ago, and have not had any issues. So I go directly to the sbcglobal/att site email and it said I was offline after signing in. Then that went away and there was no mail anywhere to be found. Then after I logged out and back in, it showed the reply I sent but it was in the in box? Not using a cell phone, just my desktop. I also tried to send and receive through another email address to this goofy one and it says sent, but I never receive it. What's going on here?

We can assist you with your email, GusandBoomer.
We recommend troubleshooting Thunderbird with our Login and Email Solutions article.
Test using webmail - if you're able to sign in to your email via the web, the issue points to the app or mailbox you are using.
Mailboxes - we recommend using the latest version. Updates and changes may prevent it from working properly.
Rebuild your mailbox profile - in some instances, rebuilding the profile fixes some issues. You may lose email doing this.
Change your settings from POP to IMAP.
Client issues - if you're using POP, you must now use IMAP. There was a recent change, this article will explain further.
Keep in mind that AT&T does not officially support or troubleshoot mailboxes/clients like Outlook.
To troubleshoot on the webmail side (make sure you're using Currently), follow these steps:
Clear the cache and cookies - the most common fix.
Update your browser - many features are only compatible with the latest browser, and we recommend updating it.
Test signing in to your webmail using another browser.
Disable browser tools or add-ons - this varies by device and browser.
Disable your firewall - this varies by device and browser.
Let us know if you need further assistance.

I seemed to have fixed it by deleting the key code and re-entering it instead of creating a new one. I don't understand why the original key code stopped working as it would receive mail, but not allow me to send mail. But it's working now. Thank you
