Unable to send emails

When trying to send emails from Thunderbird, I either get an error message that they have timed out, or that the server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. This problem started out of the blue on Friday 20th Dec. I can send emails by logging into my email provider 123-Reg without any problem. Any help appreciated.

In case 123-Reg have altered one of their settings, you could set up a new profile using their current instructions (https://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/email/how-do-i-set-up-an-email-client-with-123-mail/) and see if it's successful.
