cannot connect to smtp server
if a user cannot connect to the server by smtp this is usually the case the only workaround is to enter the isps smtp server address e g smtp sbcglobal net see demo for an example of how this is done in outlook express
for the past 2 days maybe since the upgrade to 3 1 4 i haven t been able to send outgoing emails i still receive emails fine but all of a sudden when i send an email it gets stuck trying to connect to the smtp server for a while and then says sending of message failed the message could not be sent because the connection to smtp server smtp gmail com timed out it has never done this until the last couple days i m using gmail imap with the default gmail settings provided by thunderbird at setup and was using smtp googlemail com
