For a week, I have not been able to send any emails through Thunderbird.
This is the only day that I have been able to delve further into the problem.
If I send an email, this is the response that I get after sending. Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.
I have contacted my main provider and they have been useless. I contacted my secondary provider and they sent me what the settings should be. I checked their info against mine and everything is correct.
I prefer Mozilla products over all others and I wish to get this corrected sooner later, I have two assignments to send over the weekend.
I would rather being doing something else that trying to figure out this problem.
I should be celebrating or mourning the passing of my wife 3 years ago, than trying to figure out what is wrong.
One thing I did do was to go to the Mozilla website and download Thunderbird again in case there was a conflict somewhere in the system.
Thanking you in advance. K
