Hello everyone! :)

I'm using Thunderbird for many years. Today I had to reinstall my Windows and obviously to set up my apps including Thunderbird. Unfortunately an error is popping up after I filled all of the required information. I restarted my PC. I reinstalled Thunderbird. I'm using the most popular email client in Bulgaria.

Nothing works so far. Screen shots are attached including the provided settings from my email client.

Thanks!
