fine, but I cannot send messages Sometimes you’ll open your email client and your email will arrive in your inbox, but when it comes to sending a message you get an error message. Here are the steps to follow for Outlook, Thunderbird etc to fix this. All the settings mentioned are for GreenNet users. (If you’ve come here from a web search and use an email service other than GreenNet, the server names will be different depending on your email provider, and maybe some of the port numbers too.) This is particularly likely to occur when travelling and connecting through a different ISP from normal, because the ISP may block outgoing ports as a safeguard against their connections being used to send spam. Instructions for changing the port (and sometimes which port to use) may vary depending on the exact version of the email program you are using, but the following covers most of the common ones. Other causes for not being able to send include an invalid recipient address: it’s usually worth recording any error message you see on screen, however cryptic. Thunderbird The usual symptom is that Thunderbird will try to send for about 20 seconds before giving up with “Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtp.gn.apc.org timed out.” Click on Account Settings (usually on the Tools menu) Right down the bottom of the list of accounts on the left, should be “Outgoing server (SMTP)”. Click that. On the top right of the Account settings dialogue box you should see one or more outgoing servers. You probably want the default, which might mention ‘smtp.gn.apc.org’. Click that and ‘Edit’. Server name should be smtp.gn.apc.org. If the server name does not end gn.apc.org or greennet.org.uk, then possibly you aren’t sending out through GreenNet, and can either check with the service you are using, or switch to GreenNet. Make sure “Use name and password” is ticked; the username is usually the bit before the @ sign in your email address, or the username you use to log into GreenNet Webmail. The first time you send, Thunderbird may ask you for your GreenNet password. If the port number listed is “25”, try altering it to “2525” and you can try “none” for “connection security” while you try to get it working (security is optional on 2525). Click “OK” and try sending again. If that doesn’t work, you might also want to try port 587, which requi
