    Thunderbird - problems sending emails

    I have Thunderbird 24.0 (updated) anda i have lot of problems to send emails.
    It take a long time to connect the smpt.gmail.com and then appears the message error says it took too long to connect the smpt.gmail.com and the session expired. Try again or contact your administrator.

      try this:

      [FONT="Courier New"]ping smpt.gmail.com[/FONT]
      ping: unknown host smpt.gmail.com

      [FONT="Courier New"]ping smtp.gmail.com[/FONT]
      PING gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com (173.194.78.108) 56(84) bytes of data.
      64 bytes from wg-in-f108.1e100.net (173.194.78.108): icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=27.1 ms

          I will be more likely due to port 21 which must be cut by the ADSL provider

              the port [FONT="Courier New"]21[/FONT] stands for [FONT="Courier New"]ftp 21/tcp[/FONT]

              hence the port [FONT="Courier New"]25[/FONT] stands for [FONT="Courier New"]smtp 25/tcp mail[/FONT]

              and similarly, the secure smtp has the port 465
              [FONT="Courier New"]ssmtp 465/tcp smtps # SMTP over SSL[/FONT]

              and further more, each smtp server (yahoo, google, ...) may defines his own smpt server port (891 899 ...)

                  SMTP uses port 25 not port 21....port 21 is used by FTP.
