I'm able to receive messages from Protonmail and Outlook after installing Thunderbird yesterday. Have not been able to send an outbound message to Protonmail. Error is "Send Message Error. Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) 127.0.0.1 timed out. Try Again.

I am able to send messages via Outlook. Outlook works no problem.

Any ideas on what to do for Protonmail to work?

Everything was working fine and then out of nowhere I try to send an e-mail and get "The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.rima.net timed out. Try again." Nothing had been changed, it just couldn't send and I've checked the settings that all appear to be OK, but I still cannot send e-mail. I'm receiving e-mail, but cannot send. What could be the issue?

Had this problem suddenly crop up since the update of one of my accounts not sending mail due to timeouts. I've not changed any passwords or settings since I had it working last. The message is the "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) [my workplace's SMTP server] timed out. Try again." one, and it's preventing me from sending any emails.

Specifics:

• It's one account (my work one: work runs an Outlook/Microsoft mail server).
• My personal account (gmail) sends fine. Both accounts recieve email fine too, so this is just one direction on one account.

Things I've tried:

• Switching my Firewall off makes no difference, so it's not a firewall problem
• It's not that the emails I'm trying to send are too large, one word test emails also don't send
• Extending the timeout time by 3x doesn't help

I also opened a second computer not yet running the latest version - the account worked fine. Then applied the upgrade and that broke things in exactly the same way as described above. So I'm pretty sure this is an issue caused by the upgrade in some way. Not sure if other people with Outlook servers are having the same problem or if there's any workaround available but would appreciate advice.

You are 'sorting' my email and I am missing important items. Please remove this sort option from gailw.DRShop@gmail.com and let me decide what is of primary importance and what should remain in date order in my inbox.

Hi, I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem - since a few days I get an immediate SMTP timeout in Thunderbird for some mail servers but not all. For Outlook the same server works just fine. Version 140.0.1esr has recently been autoinstalled. It is possible that the problems started when that version was installed but I am not sure about the timing. The email provider has no explanation and claims there is no problem on its side. Also, Thunderbird has recently asked me to confirm a server certificate for receiving emails. Usually when that happens I also get asked the same question when sending emails, but this time I did not get the question for sending, I just get the timeout message.

Thanks,

PS I LOVE forefox and Thunderbird. It was always easy but nowl.....

Error de envío de mensaje Falló el envío del mensaje. El mensaje no se ha podido enviar porque ha caducado la conexión al servidor de salida (SMTP) smtp.dazzlepremiumrefunds.com. Vuelva a intentarlo.

I'm having an e-mail emergency, and will be very grateful for any assistance. Running TB 128.12.0esr (32-bit) on a 64-bit Win10 PC.

Earlier today, Thunderbird stopped sending or receiving via my main account, on an Earthlink-hosted domain that I own. Turned out that I can still send from accounts on two other domains, one a shared-hosting domain that I own; the other is Verizon/AOL. But I cannot seem to download from any of the three domains.

I checked all the SMTP and POP settings, which worked a few hours ago and have not changed. Restarted Thunderbird several times, inlcusing in safe mode, and rebooted the PC twice. Clicking "Get Messages" - globally or by account - does nothing. The thin blue "working" bar at lower right keeps scrolling, even if I press the Stop button.

I would prefer not to mess around with setting up new profiles and all. Can anyone here please suggest anything less complicated and risky that might get mail working again?

THANKS in advance!

Had a 'Onetel' e-mail address for years and have had the same issues with it a few times where as it just 'drops out.

Have been on here before and received good advice. Last time it dropped out apparently because it didn't know the servers name and that was it it didn't want to play any more. I am determind to get this working again so that I can send from One Tel. It has a Forwarder to another account so I still get the messages. Also have gone in via TalkTalk (who apparently now own Onetel and can receive the messages on my phone (iPhone13) but very hard to reply from it. Any help to get this account up and running from my Desktop gratefully recieved.

Thanks, Dick.
