I use Thunderbird with hotwayd .
With hotway , thunderbird works perfectly , i get my emails from my hotmail account.
But with hotsmtpd , i get an error when i try to send an email :
"Ocurrio un error mientras se enviaba el correo . El servidor de correo respondio :
Authenticate first! - MAIL command is not available right now.
Por favor , verifique que su direccion de correo electronico es correcta en las preferencias de Mail y vuelva a intentarlo."
I use the Thunderbird Spanish version , this error in English maybe something like this :
"There is an error when you try to send an email. Email Hosted said :
Authenticate first! - MAIL command is not available right now.
Please , check your email address in Mail Preferences and try it again."
Any Solution ?

I had the same problem as you describe.
Although I have entered a username at the "Server Settings" in Thunderbird it didnt work for me..
So my solution was to enter a Username in Thunderbird at: "Account Settings" > "OutgoingServer(SMTP)"
This can be a bit messy if you want more than one account in Thunderbirds SMTP when when you just see the IP(which is the same) for each account
There should be a alias name for every account...

I seem to remember that showing the username in the SMTP selection box was a fixed bug in some release of Tb. But I'm still running an ooooolder version, so that may not be the case.
I would suggest that you could add entries to your hosts file so that you could use those to distinguish what the corresponding username is. Something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost user1 user2 user3
Then instead of using the IP (or localhost) in the thunderbird SMTP setup, use the descriptive hostname that corresponds to the username you enter for auth.
I haven't tried this since I have things set up and working right now, but for any new installs I do, I will give it a try.
