Pete_Vit,
Thank you for letting us know! There are some settings that need to be changed, which should help resolve this issue. Here's the steps:
1. Open the Thunderbird Mail application, click on Tools at the top of the window and then select Account Settings (usually the second from the bottom on the menu). Once these steps are completed, click on Account Actions and then Add Mail Account.
2. Please fill in your name or email address for 'Your name'. You will then enter your Email Address and password and check the box for Remember Password. You can then click Continue. If you receive a green check, you can click done. If there is an error, continue to the next step.
3. If you encounter an error during automatic setup, click Configure Manually. Enter the information for server settings and ports (listed below) and then click Re-test. Thunderbird should verify the settings against the mail servers and you should be able to click done and then be able to use your mail.
Settings:
Incoming IMAP/Pop Server Setting: mail.hughes.net
Available Incoming IMAP Ports: 143 with security set to auto, 993 with security set to SSL
Available Incoming POP port: 110 with security set to auto, 995 with security set to SSL
SMTP Server Setting: email.hughes.net or smtp.hughes.net (they resolve to the same place)
Available Outbound SMTP ports: 587 with security set to TLS
Thanks,
Remy
