Hi,
I've just installed Mozilla Thunderbird and imported my mail and address book from Outlook. I receive messages, but when I reply, I get the following error message:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for <recipient's e-mail address>. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
Where can I find the "email address in my Mail preferences"?
I've checked my Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings (Tools > Account Settings) and everything seems okay there.
Any ideas?
5.7.1 Unable to relay for <recipient's e-mail address>

Hi whybee,
the last sentence in the error message ("Please verify that your email address is correct...") does in my opinion NOT come from the SMTP server, but is generated by Thunderbird (in this case just misleading). The first part ist the SMTP's answer, and I always get that when I forget to "authenticate". That is, the SMTP-server can not relay your mail unless you provide a user name and a password.
