Hi,

I have both gmail and btinternet accounts feeding in to Thunderbird. I can send emails from my bt account but not from my gmail account. When I try to send a gmail message a pop up informs me that the out going server for gmail has timed out. I have checked the server settings for gmail's out going server and it is set up as Thunderbird states but the problem persists.

Can anyone help to solve this problem please?

Hello there We have read the question We try to help you

For example, when you mention this pop-up, you can wait until the internet traffic recovers. You can also see if you can influence certain topics so that the problem can be resolved. One of these issues is the waiting time of using the server to defer time Please go to the general settings)network and diskspace section)search for mail news)try to increase the time table up to 300.

Please try to look at your port settings of your SMTP server settings and see if you are still using port 25 or 2525?

Are you checking to see if these changes occur after changing your port number to 587?

Then restart your software to send emails.
