I need SMTP Server info to set up Email reports from backup software
I have no idea what the "SMTP Server" info is that they are asking for. I do think I have the correct port--"25"--that they also ask about.
My Email provider is "fastmail.us" giving me an Email address of "vanmisc@fastmail.us" but neither this nor "fastmail.us" works as the SMTP Server

You should contact your ISP provider on the email setup. Also firefox is a browser not a email program.
I did contact my Email provider--Fastmail and they gave me info such as pop.fastmail.com; imap.fastmail.com; smtp.fastmail.com with a different port for each (993,995, and 465--I also tried 25).
I also set up an "app specific password but none of this worked when I tried "check Email connection".
Please post your Troubleshooting Information.
At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button , then select Help > Troubleshooting Information.
Press the "Copy text to clipboard button" and paste the information into your reply.
This didn't work for me as the backup program I wanted to set up to report back to me on status of backup attempts doesn't have the same "windows and steps" that thunderbird has. However I would like to close out my query. and appreciate the responses I did get. I will take up the matter with fastmail.
