Port 587 is for non-ssl. It is allowed for yahoo using startTLS (communication starts in clear and changes to ssl/tls), but not allowed for the regular Verizon smtp.verizon.net (ssl/tls).

Hi TNS_2,
Thanks for the reply! Yes, I'm aware of that. When trying port 587, I configured the various email clients tried to use STARTTLS. No luck.

I had a problem sending E-mails using Thunderbird on my PC Desktop but no problems with my MAC BOOK PRO. After Changing the settings and not being able to send on the Desk Top , I compared setting on the two and found that on the desk Top I didn't have the Outgoing Server (SMTP) Edit data correct with SSL/TLS and Normal password entered. Another words you have to have (SSL/TLS and normal password) on both POP mail Server and
and the OutgoingServer screen.

Hi xwx06,
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I have everything configured correctly. Using the old settings in Thunderbird with port 110 for receiving and port 25 for outgoing, everything works fine -- for now. Changing the settings to port 995 for incoming, SSL/TLS and normal password does *not* work. For outgoing, trying 465, SSL/TLS, normal password also does *not* work.

Since ports 995 and 465 are not unique to Verizon, I began looking for another etiology for the problem.
At MozillaZine (and other sites), users said that many routers block ports by default, so I'm now thinking that my router (Westell 327w) is probably doing this. Solutions offered were to not use router's firewall, lower router's firewall setting to low (rather than medium or high), or use port forwarding.
I'm not able to access my router since it appears I don't have a record of the password. (I have the user name.) So, I'll have to reset the router. I only want to do that when Verizon tech support is available in case I'm unable to get things reconfigured properly.
If and when I get this problem resolved, I'll post back.

Could you possibly bypass your router in order to test the theory? Or is it a coax cable setup? If you are using Ethernet it would be easy to bypass the router

Hi Logan8,
Thanks for the reply. I always connect via wireless, but otherwise, yes, there are Ethernet cables. How would I bypass the router?
In any case, to try to solve this problem, I lowered my router's firewall settings to LOW. (Previously they were set to MEDIUM.) Doing this completely solved the problem, and I'm now able to use Thunderbird with ports 995 and 465 and SSL. However, I don't think I'm happy about having the firewall settings at LOW. I'm not really sure if I'm now opening my computer up to threats. The recommended setting was MEDIUM.
Another possible solution was port forwarding, but I haven't read enough about it yet to understand it. I don't want to mess around too much with the router settings and knock myself offline.
I'm also thinking of getting a new modem. According to what I've read, only older modem/routers like mine (Westell 327w) block ports 995 and 465.
