Hello, Since last friday I cannot access to the server ssl0.ovh.net with Thunderbird, cannot receive or send mail. I didn't change anything before last Friday. Yesterday I've tried to change my password, but it didn't solved the problem.

Here are few informations: Mail provider : OVH Software in use : Thunderbird 78.14.0 ERROR MESSAGE : L’envoi du message a échoué. Le message n’a pas pu être envoyé car la connexion au serveur sortant (SMTP) « ssl0.ovh.net » a échoué. Le serveur est peut-être indisponible ou refuse les connexions SMTP. Veuillez vérifier que les paramètres de votre serveur sortant (SMTP) sont corrects et essayez à nouveau.

I send you here a screenshot of my SMTP settings. Hoping it helps.

Waiting for your help, Thanks

Here are few informations: Mail provider : OVH Software in use : Thunderbird 78.14.0 ERROR MESSAGE : L’envoi du message a échoué. The message could not be sent because the connection to the outgoing server (SMTP) "ssl0.ovh.net" failed. The server may be unavailable or refusing SMTP connections. Please check that your outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again. I send you here a screenshot of my SMTP settings. Hoping it helps. Waiting for your help, Thanks

You have the authentication method set to 'no authentication'. It should be 'normal password'.
