I can log into my email using the browser based login page at my internet provider's site, but when I try it with Thunderbird tell me:
"Sending of password for user malcolmp did not succeed. Mail server mail.optonline.net responded: Service Temporarily Unavailable"
Please help me resolve this issues
Thank you Mlacolm

The message has told you that the Mail server service is temporarily unavailable. Perhaps they are working on the server fixing an issue etc. In which case you only wait.
Is this for receiving and sending ?
The website webmail access and thunderbird using pop/imp/smtp uses an entirely different protocols and server. You cannot compare the two methods.

Hi, and thank you so much for the reply. This was an issue with my internet provider's system and nothing to do with Thunderbird.
Sorry for the fuss
