When I use a VPN-connection my IMAP still works, but my POP and my SMTP doesn't. For POP I use SSL/TLS and port 995. (For IMAP I use port 993) MY SMTP is STARTTLS and the port is 587. When I disable my VPN and restart Thunderbird, everything is working again. Can somebody help me, please.

Check with your VPN provider whether they do allow these ports.

This VPN-supplier (VPN-book) uses different servers. Some servers are only for serving on the web. I just took the wrong one.
