Until today I could use Suddenlink accounts to send emails flawlessly using Thunderbird. I had port 587 and did not use SSL\TLS. Well, Suddenlink now demands the use SSL\TLS and port 465 with Auth=Normal Password. If you don't change this, you won't be able to send out emails.
Solution: In Thinderbird select your userid and then SETTINGS. Your SMTP will be listed, but do an EDIT to see details. On the detail screen change to port 465 and in Connection select SSL\TLS. Auth below this will change automatically to Normal Password which is what you want. You can now send emails again.
