How pleasant and polite you are to someone trying to help you. That's
fine; I don't care. But you won't get any help from me.

Are you really that ignorant that you thought we could read your mind
to get that important information that you never mentioned until now?
Error messages are crucial for troubleshooting.

"Test account" doesn't really mean much of anything, either. You mean a
new account with your mail service? A new "account" in your email
reader? Or what? You never even mentioned what email program you use.
Or whether the email account you're trying to get to is with your ISP
or external. Or several other pertinent pieces of information.

I have a couple of ideas about where the problem lies, but I don't want
to speculate with bad and incomplete information you've given and risk
being called "ignorant." That would just ruin my day.

Duuuh, dude.

Is there any reason at all that you can't copy & paste the *exact* and
compete error message in a reply here? No wonder you're not getting an
answer that helps. <sheesh>

port IS definitely blocked by at&t
tried other ports and it still won't send.

Try a packet sniffer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireshark

Works best if the transaction isn't encrypted. If the setup uses
plaintext, you can even see the username and password being sent
to the server.

When you get a single error number from some tool on your
computer, sometimes the packet sniffer can shed a bit more
light on what is happening.

And this is exactly why most people don't go out of their way to help
richard bullis.

richard knows nothing about computers, but hangs around newsgroups
pretending to know the answers to computer questions, when 99% of the
time, his answers are dead wrong.

Even when asked verbatim for the error, he says "the password has been
rejected".

Good luck, bullis.
