It seems like this has been happening since the last update (to 60.7.0), I can receive e-mails fine but cannot send them. I have 2 e-mail addresses in use both through Telstra Business mail through a domain name. When sending mail from either of these addresses, it says 'log in failed'. I've checked my outgoing server settings several times and re-set the passwords with no improvement and I've tried uninstalling the current version of Thunderbird and using the older one and having the same error.

We have a third e-mail on a separate computer in an older version of outlook which is still sending mail correctly.

If you select a non-gmail account in the left pane of Tools/Account Settings, click the Outgoing Server (SMTP) drop-down in the right pane and select the gmail smtp (if the gmail account is set up in TB). But note that Gmail will substitute the gmail address for the non-gmail address in sent mail unless you add the non-gmail account to 'Send mail as' in gmail Settings/Accounts & Import on the gmail website.

do you have an anti virus scanning outgoing mail? disable the function and try again after you restart your computer.

I use Trend Micro maximum security which doesn't scan outgoing mail as far as I know. I did try disabling it and the windows firewall temporarily and sending an email but had the same problem.

In order for us to better investigate this issue, we'll need some more information.

Could you please do the following:

  1. Open the menu Fx57Menu > Help > Troubleshooting Information, then click Copy text to Clipboard.
  2. Open a reply to this post, and paste the information (ctrl+V) into the reply. IF the information is to long, paste it into notepad and drop off everything after the Graphics heading. I have never seen a use for it in this situation.

The use of port 25 for a non server SMTP connection is to say the least archaic. While common in the last century, the industry settles on port 25 for server to server communications a very long time ago. But just about every SMTP server in the world also uses StartTLS or SSL/TLS connection encryption apparently with the exception of Telstra business. They are in a time warp perhaps.

I did locate some information on the trend site that is probably relevant as it would appear they block port 25 by default.

https://success.trendmicro.com/solution/1038256-ports-to-allow-in-the-firewall-inbound-exception-list-of-worry-free-business-security-wfbs

I tested the domain and it does appear that it truly uses port 25. It also fails just about every test that would indicate it is a secure server. https://www.immuniweb.com/ssl/?id=HAdGxLF2

If the problem is related to sending on non-secure port 25, I wonder if you would be able to use the secure settings suggested by Telstra: pop.screenprinters.net.au on port 995, SSL/TLS security, authentication = normal password, User name = email address; outgoing smtp,screenprinters.net.au on port 465, SSL/TLS security, authentication = normal password, User name = email address.

I find it odd that you have encrypted password authentication for the incoming server for both accounts, but non-secure password authentication for account 3 and no authentication for account 5 for the outgoing servers. Encrypted password authentication (as opposed to encrypted connection security) is very uncommon, and not indicated by Telstra.

Very sorry for the delayed response, thank you very much for your replies and suggestions. My knowledge in this area is very limited, but my settings are based on what worked - I did try using different settings when I first set up Thunderbird and then again when this problem came up. I tried the ones suggested by Telstra on their site (port 995 SSL/TLS security etc.), when I contacted Telstra business regarding this they suggested port 25 and that I try a different server (smtp.bne.server-mail.com) which I have without any luck as well. I currently have no outgoing authentication for one of the accounts as I was just testing things to see if I could get mail to send at all.

I had no idea the server wasn't secure and I'm not sure if it's something I have control over, I might have to contact Telstra again. In any case, I was able to send e-mails with those settings before the Thunderbird update so I still think it might be related.

Thank you again for your suggestions.

I've read several posts on Telstra's community support forum, by users trying to figure out the correct outgoing server settings, and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. If your settings worked before the TB update, it suggests that TrendMicro or some other app that is acting on TB is incompatible with the updated TB. The fact the computer running Outlook with the same settings, works, supports this idea. You could try running TB when Windows is started in safe mode to see if interference by startup apps such as Trend is the source of the problem.

Not to over-complicate things, but if only non-secure outgoing port 25 works, I recommend you add a gmail account or equivalent to TB and set your screenprinters account to send through the (secure) gmail smtp server. If you add the account to gmail as a 'Send mail as' account, the gmail address becomes virtually invisible.

As suggested I've set up a gmail account to send e-mails which I'll use as a work around while trying to solve the problem - thank you very much for this suggestion.

I tried sending mail in safe mode but that still didn't work. I also tried sending an e-mail while connected to the telstra mobile network to see if it was an issue with our normal ISP with no luck.
