   Was using Pan, switched to Tbird because replying in Pan invokes an   
   external mail program anyway.   
      
   Do what other anon said, fill in the boxes. If using eternal-september,   
   look here: https://eternal-september.org/index.php?showpage=faq   
      
   I can only see the hierarchy eternal-september.   
      
   This hierarchy is open for reading and posting without registration. You   
   have either forgotten to configure your client to use your username and   
   password or the client does not send the user data, as it assumes they   
   are not required.   
   In this case it is necessary to force the client to send authentication   
   data.   
      
   The following clients are known to need explicit configuration:   
      
        Mozilla Thunderbird   
      
        Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings   
        Always request authentication when connecting to this server
