Hi, I have trouble setting Thunderbird with my email: info@sakisx.heliohost.org On the cpanel it says I can use Secure SSL/TLS Settings but the only settings that work are : Incoming IMAP ,port 143 ,SSL= STARTTLS ,Authentication= NOT Encrypted (normal) Outgoing SMTP ,port 587 ,SSL= STARTTLS ,Authentication= NOT Encrypted (normal) Are these settings "safe"? Also another thing that puzzles me is which name server I must choose with the above settings. The cpanel mentions for SSL the "stevie.heliohost.org" and for the nonSSL "mail.sakisx.heliohost.org". Which one should I use? After thunderbird complained for SSL certificate and had to made "exception" I send a test mail to hotmail and gmail account. But the hotmail message was not send: From info@sakisx.heliohost.org I got: ""This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: XXXXXXXXXXX@hotmail.com SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:&--#60;info@sakisx.heliohost.org&--#62; SIZE=XXXX: host mx2.hotmail.com [X.X.X.X]: XXX XX-XXX (XXXXXX-XXXXX) Unfortunately, messages from X.X.X.X weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors.""

You block hotmail when registering a hosting account because hotmail considers your messages as spam, so I had to use my secondary address, on gmail. FYI gmail considers your messages as spam too. So maybe you should block it too, and also, maybe you should block 99% of the e-mail providers. I'm joking but seriously, you should allow hotmail, people just have to look in their spam folder, just like I had to do on gmail... Now I'm registered on an e-mail address that I never look at, which kinda sucks a bit for communications.
