[Answered] Problem With Email Client (Thunderbird) And Hotmail

[SakisX]

Hi,

I have trouble setting Thunderbird with my email:

info@sakisx.heliohost.org

 

On the cpanel it says I can use Secure SSL/TLS Settings but the only settings that work are :

 

Incoming IMAP ,port 143 ,SSL= STARTTLS ,Authentication= NOT Encrypted (normal)

Outgoing SMTP ,port 587 ,SSL= STARTTLS ,Authentication= NOT Encrypted (normal)

 

Are these settings "safe"?

 

Also another thing that puzzles me is which name server I must choose with the above settings.

The cpanel mentions for SSL the "stevie.heliohost.org" and for the nonSSL "mail.sakisx.heliohost.org".

Which one should I use?

 

After thunderbird complained for SSL certificate and had to made "exception" I send a test mail to hotmail and gmail account. But the hotmail message was not send:

 

From info@sakisx.heliohost.org I got:

 

""This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

 

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its

recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

 

XXXXXXXXXXX@hotmail.com

SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:&--#60;info@sakisx.heliohost.org&--#62; SIZE=XXXX:

host mx2.hotmail.com [X.X.X.X]: XXX XX-XXX (XXXXXX-XXXXX) Unfortunately, messages from X.X.X.X weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors.""

Should have read

http://wiki.helionet.org/Signing_up#Why_can.27t_I_use_a_Hotmail_email_address.3F

for the problem on hotmail accounts.

 

But I still need help on setting up Thunderbird....

Our mail server is blacklisted again, so most major services won't receive stuff from us. Krydos has to look into it.

 

As for thunderbird, both hosts should work since they point to the same place. I use Stevie.heliohost.org. Use the non-SSL configuration.
