I use SMTP2Go.com as my SMTP provider. They are in NZ, and provide numerous security options, for about $10/month. I also use thunderbird for my email.

Hello everyone,

*DESPERATE for guidance here! *

As of last night, not sure what triggered it, I am *no longer allowed to use Rogers SMTP* service for my Mozilla Thunderbird, service which has been reliable since connection at this address 16+ years ago!!!

Contacting Rogers, spoke to Manager Mohammed, who says the service was discontinued about 12-18 months ago and that it is no longer part of their stable of offerings and cannot generate an Application password to re-initialize my SMTP.

How can I get this fixed???  I don't want to leave my emails on a provider server where it can be hacked and stolen!

I need my desktop client to automatically forward various emails from paid Service Providers to my wife.   That is not possible for me thru the default Webmail client.

Is there a solution here?

Is a reinstatement of service possible if I go up the ladder?

Please, I need some immediate guidance on where to go with this.

Thank you all in advance.
