To whom it concerns, I need help, I try to send an e-mail and a box pops up saying Message could not be send because the connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-server.oh.rr.com timed out try again. I have tried everything. I've been with Thunderbird for years. Thank you!!

The rr.com is an old RoadRunner email address, which is now Spectrum.


I would start by checking your SMTP settings.

GO to Thunderbird menu -> Account Settings -> Edit SMTP Server (bottom right)

Set your outgoing SMTP like this:

  • Port: 587
  • Connection Security: STARTTLS
  • Authentication: Normal Password
  • Username: YourSpectrum/RRemail
