Here is a message I receive when I try to send email from my Hotmail account in Thunderbird.

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: Cannot connect to SMTP server 52.96.165.242 (52.96.165.242:587), connect error 10060.
