Step 1:

To enable SMTP Authentication in Mozilla Thunderbird v 1.5, while you are in the program, click on "Tools" and then select "Account Settings" from the menu that appears.  Next >>>

Step 2:

Select "Server Settings"  Next >>>

Note: If you receive e-mail from a provider other than Frontier, your account name *may* differ from what appears in the image below.

Step 3:

On the "Server Settings" window, if your server name is set to pop3.frontiernet.net, pop3.citlink.net, or pop3.newnorth.net, make sure that your complete FrontierNet, Citlink, or Newnorth e-mail address is present in the "User Name" field.

If your server name is set to mail.ctaz.com, enter your CTAZ e-mail address in the "User Name" field in the format of "username@citlink.net" (replace "ctaz.com" with "citlink.net"). Please note, your e-mail address will *not* change.

On the "Server Settings" window, if your server name is set to something other than pop3.frontiernet.net, pop3.citlink.net, mail.ctaz.com, or pop3.newnorth.net, do not make any changes to your server settings.

Select "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" to proceed.  Next >>>

Step 4:

If your outgoing mail server name is set to smtp.frontiernet.net, smtp.citlink.net, mail.ctaz.com, or smtp.newnorth.net, click "Edit".  Next >>>

If your outgoing mail server name is set to something other than smtp.frontiernet.net, smtp.citlink.net, mail.ctaz.com, or smtp.newnorth.net, no changes need to be made at this time.

Step 5:

The box to the left of "Use name and password" should be checked. Enter your complete FrontierNet, Citlink / CTAZ, or Newnorth e-mail address in the "User Name" field.  If you  are using a CTAZ e-mail address, enter your e-mail address in the "User Name" field in the format of "username@citlink.net" (replace "ctaz.com" with "citlink.net"). Please note, your e-mail address will *not* change.

Click "OK" to save your changes. Next >>>

Step 6:

Click "OK". That's it!  SMTP authentication has been enabled.
