Cannot setup Thunderbird
I tried to fix an incoming and outgoing feature on Thunderbird. I tried to delete the account and install a new account. I cannot set up the incoming server settings on the program. The settings don't agree with the ones required by TDS telecom. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the program. This will not work.

Set up the account manually. What problems are being shown then?
I tried to set it up manually and I still can't get the incoming server settings.
I tried using the recommended settings and keep getting an error message that I have the wrong portal for incoming server.
This is what I keep getting when I tried to set up Thunderbird according to TDS recommended settings.
The incoming IMAP server should be mail.tds.net on 993, SSL/TLS, normal password, User Name = email address. Your outgoing settings are correct.

The port for the incoming server keeps going to 143. I tried to get TDS to explain this and they could not.
Retry with 143 but do NOT include password. Wait until THunderbird later prompts for it after account is confirmed.
Nothing is working.
What is the error message now?
The same as before.
You're doing something wrong. I entered your info and was able to create the account. See attached screenshot.
I used your info and did NOT include password.
