I can't send or receive gmail in thunderbird. I deleted a gmail account on thundeerbird and reinstalled it but when trying to send a message I get the following: " Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again."
