  • Thunderbird SMTP

    From Tony@VERT/FRIENDS to All on Mon Dec 12 18:56:44 2016
    Hi Guys,
    anybody of you use Thunderbird to read and post offline messages? I got the messages using the port 119 but for the SMTP which port have to use? I tried 25 and doesn't work and of course 119 as well.

    Thanks

    For checking your email, you would use the POP (TCP port 110) protocol or IMAP (TCP port 143).

    connecting through your LAN, or from an area outside the LAN? your ISP may have that port blocked, there could be many issues keeping this from happening, find some error logs, etc, see if we can get some info from thisse.
