When I submitted a fake password using my fake “jdoe” user name, the mail server promptly rejected it as expected. TB connected to which then prompted for a password. It configured the inbound POP server using unsecured port 110, but this can be easily changed.Īnyway, I then composed an email and attempted to send it. TB obtained and correctly configured the outbound server settings automatically.
THUNDERBIRD MAIL ALERT MANUAL
I created a dummy account using the auto-setup wizard in TB (instead of manual setup). If not, the message will be “Thunderbird failed to find the settings …”.ĭon’t worry about messing anything up. If successful, you’ll see a green message stating “Configuration found …”. Thunderbird will now try and obtain mail server information automatically by trying common server names.

av/firewall, router, corrupt install, etc).Ģ) In the “Account Actions” drop-down on the left select “Add Mail Account”ģ) Full name “John Smith” and Email address Leave the password field blank and uncheck “Remember password”ĥ) Click “Continue” (do not manually configure) As mentioned, we first need to determine if TB can talk to the mail server and if not, what’s preventing it from doing so (i.e. I suggest doing a simple test by creating a fake Shaw account in TB. This reply was modified 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Bob99.Įverybody has made some great suggestions, so let’s put them all together and try to isolate the your problem. However, I also realize that the problem may also lie along the path from Oldtimer’s location to the Shaw server, hence why I asked Oldtimer to perform a tracert test (in my post above) as initially suggested by Alex5723 in post 2398672, which is a response to Oldtimer’s ping test results.

This leads me to think that ‘s issue lies within the Avast installation’s settings or within the Windows Firewall settings, either of which may have been changed inadvertently by Avast or another program that may have been temporarily installed and is now removed. I have read over Mozilla’s info about their DNS changes dealing with DoH, and I incorporated them into the settings within about:config when they were first described several months ago. However, I have had no problems, having a typical round trip time of 62 milliseconds. It’s my personal belief that if the DNS changes within Mozilla’s products had anything to do with ‘s issue, I would also have a hard time reaching the Shaw mail server. I am also using FF 93.0 in addition to T’Bird and have noted what PK said above about the DNS changes. I can successfully ping the Shaw mail server with no issues at all, so I don’t think the problem lies within T’Bird. The version I’m currently using is 91.2.1, like. On Windows 10, I’ve been using Windows’ built in AV solution, Microsoft and –
THUNDERBIRD MAIL ALERT WINDOWS 7
I used AVG’s free antivirus when I has Windows 7 until last year and had it from when it was on its own through when they merged with Avast but tried staying a “separate”company. I know you said that you turned off Avast temporarily to try testing Thunderbird but, in my experience with its “sister” product from AVG, this action sometimes didn’t shut down its firewall, only the antivirus process in memory. If the tracert shows a failure in the first hop, then the problem is on your computer, and this suggests that either Avast has either blocked the connection in its own firewall or it has blocked the connection with settings in Windows’ built-in firewall. At an elevated command prompt as you did for the ping command, type the following and hit Enter: “tracert 64.59.136.142”, but omit the quote marks, of course. To see just where things are failing, run the tracert command as noted by Alex in post 2398672 above. This is shown in the results of the ping command you ran. Sorry to interject here but, it sounds as if your computer has been “firewalled” from reaching the Shaw mail server it’s supposed to. As a side note, most cable ISPs block port 25 for email.Īlso, I think only old folk like us are the only ones still using POP. I don’t recommend this as you’ll be sending everything in plain text.

If you use the settings below for the outgoing Shaw server, you won’t need a password. TB will allow you to save the password so that you don’t need to enter it each time you send mail. If you use the Shaw outgoing mail settings above, then you’ll have to provide a password. If HotMail works with the settings above, then it’s not a firewall issue for Shaw (or TB if you have an application firewall).

Your hotmail account works, but not your other account? I did an NSLookup on “” which led me to Shaw Cable.īelow are my TB settings for HotMail and what I think your Shaw TB settings should be for authenticated outgoing and encrypted incoming.
