Mail problems

[classic93]

I just installed Mozilla Thunderbird on my computer to read mail from a recent mail account I created in cPanel.

It logs in, and everything is alright. When sending a message to myself or to another email I get this error:

Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server mail.thecouncil.exofire.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server settings is correct and try again, or else contact you network administrator.

Getting mail works, just sending it doesn't.

I think the settings for SMTP are correct, if anyone can make sure they are?



Other info that cPanel gave me when I made the email account.

Mail Server Username: webmaster+thecouncil.exofire.net
Incoming Mail Server: mail.thecouncil.exofire.net
Incoming Mail Server: (SSL) LSN-D1651.limestonenetworks.com

Change No to SSL and see if that fixes it.
