"Connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.rcn.com timed out". I called RCN support and they said my settings looked OK and I tried various combinations but nothing works. I tried turning off firewall but that didn't help. They suggested I contact Thunderbird.
This has been working for years but my last sent message was 4/27/2024. Obviously I don't use the account much!
Server smtp.rcn.com is OK and I tried both ports that RCN said should work. Connection security SSL/TLS (I tried others). Authentication method - encrypted password (I tried others). Username should be OK too - my name before the @rcn.com. That has been that way for a long time.
Any ideas? I can receive emails just fine.
I am on the latest release. 139.0.1 (64-bit)
Thanks!
