thunderbird e mail

Go to Tools > Account Settings then scroll down the left panel (if needed) and click on Outgoing Server (SMTP) - then in the right panel click on your account and then click the [Edit] button. You will need to change the Server Name field, and any other settings to reflect whatever changes your isp has made.... I can't believe they've still been using the blueyonder domain this long

i changed everything to virginmedia.com ,i mean out going incoming all the settings everything,then i couldnt get any emails into thunderbird ,but still couldnt send any

AFAIK Virgin servers are:

Inbound pop3.virginmedia.com (port 995)
Outbound smtp.virginmedia.com (port 465)

Try those.

Not sure if this will help or not but I use Thunderbird for my virgin mail. See screenshots for settings

I've only obscured the first part of my email address, partly obscured the googlemail port accidentally but it's 465.

What's your email addy? PM if you prefer.

Backup your profile, then delete it and start the setup again with fresh settings.

Just to clarify you deleted the profile? Reinstalling Thunderbird, without this step, will just pick up the old profile. (Actually moving it to a different folder, or compressing it should be enough.)

According to tests the server is not responding correctly on the default port. You should set the outgoing server to:

Description: Irrelevant
Server Name: smtp.blueyonder.co.uk
Port: 25
Connection security: STARTTLS
Authentication method: Normal password

I've just sent an email using those settings, the reply is in your Inbox.
