  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Thunderbird 24.0 outgoing mail settings

ToonvW

New Pleskian
Hey,

Incoming mail on several devices with various operating systems gives me no trouble at all. However I can not find the right settings for outgoing mail for Thunderbird 24.0.

For incoming mail I noticed I had to submit mail.<name>.be and port 143, no authentication and non-encrypted password. And it works.

For outgoing mail server I've tried a lot of options:
mail.<name>.be, all ports tested, all authentication options, and with both encrypted or non-encrypted passwords, in every combination of these settings.
smtp.<name>.be , all ports tested, all authentication options, and with both encrypted or non-encrypted passwords, in every combination of these settings.
<name>.be, all ports tested, all authentication options, and with both encrypted or non-encrypted passwords, in every combination of these settings.

Probably I've missed one or the other, but before I go through the whole process again I might as well ask for a general direction. ;-)

Thanks
 
Hi ToonvW

Standard right out of the box, I think you should have mail.domain.be as your smtp !

You can test open dos and connect to the server using telnet !
Ex.
telnet mail.domain.be portnr

I hope the this helps you
