I user Thunderbird with a amtp.gmail.com to send mail I used port 587 and set TLS security.... prodigy.net.mx receives the email fine this is the first tiem if have hear about TLS security... I guess other programs set a default. How can I tweak this setting in other smtps. It is clearly a client option.

In Thunderbird, go to Tools > Accounts > Outgoing Server > Advanced.  Change your email server SMTP as follow:  

Yahoo:  Change SMTP port to 587
Runbox: Change SMTP port to 26 or 587

Yahoo do not have TLS security.

Runbox does have TLS security for SMTP

http://www.runbox.com/twiki/bin/view/RunboxWizard/SecureConnections

you can use secure.runbox.com for POP and IMAP over SSL, and SMTP over TLS.

The port numbers to use are:

    * POP: 995
    * IMAP: 993
    * SMTP: 25, 26, or 587

In Thunderbird, go to Tools > Accounts > Outgoing Server > Advanced.  Change Runbox SMTP port to 26 or 587

Then in the Runbox settings, go Server Settings > Advanced > SMTP tab.  Select the runbox smtp server.

sorry but I see no Runbox setting... where are they?
Avatar of war1war1🇺🇸

robrodp, you said you have a Runbox account, so you have Runbox settings in Tools > Accounts. Under Runbox, there is Server Settings. Hightlight it.  Click on the Advanced button and then SMTP tab.

robrodp,

We not talking about Runbox main page; we are talking about setting up SMTP in Thunderbird. So with Thunderbird open, go to Tools > Accounts. Hilight Runbox Server Settings in the left pane. On the right pane, click on the Advanced button and then SMTP tab.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
