Hi Stan,
Thanks for your response.
I forgot to mention a few things, not sure if it matters.
1) This problem happens on previously created MBM files as well as new.
2) I did restart computer, etc. Computer hard-wired into modem
3) Not sure the AT&T modem I got for my UVerrse HS internet has some weird firewall for outgoing mail???? There are user changable settings, but not sure if I want to go there unless you think that's something.
Today I just decided to create a new file from the File>New menu and just use the default settings for that.
What I found is that in the settings of the NEW test file, the default had SSL DEACTIVATED.
After filing out the other settings based on my previous emails, I clicked send. Then there was "Looking for smtp.att.yahoo.com..." After about a minute wait, the mail was successfully sent and received.
I did not get the connection dropped message either.
I believe this has something to do with the SSL??? Or the "Port" as you will see in my log:
