Hi

I've been using thunderbird since it's inception, but with the new versions, I'm unable to send mails from my professional adress.

The needed settings are as follows:

  • SMTP server: smtps.***.fr
  • Port 465
  • SSL/TLS (accept all certificates)
  • impose identification

I cannot set the last two items in thuberbird hence I can't send emails. (Works fine with these settings on my smartphone)

Can I modify this using the advanced settings?

Thanks for your help

SSL/TLS (accept all certificates) impose identification

I am not even sure that the "accept all certificates" means. By it's very nature the process does not accept all certificates. Those that fail validation as invalid will never be accepted. Really it is that simple, and that problematical in the Linux world where folk insist on using self signed certificates of questionable validity.

However despite a lot being written here, what is the actual error message you get when sending mail?
