Yep, thanks for the help. after reading your response, I noticed in the imap conf file, I didn't change the binding port from 143 to 993. I then changed the smtp conf back to StartTLS=true as you suggested, and left the binding to port 25. Thunderbird works just fine now.

thanks,

Hey Michael,

socketTLS is for SMTPS on TCP/465 and is encrypted all the time.
startTLS is, as the name says, for STARTTLS command starting a plain, 
unencrypted connection on TCP/578 and upgrading it to an TLSencrypted one.
So depending on what you enable you have to correctly configure the port used 
and settings in thunderbird.

As a sidenote: as james only use one port for smtp, by enable sockettls for 465 
you lose plain on 25 and wont be able to receive mails from the world.

I suggest using starttls on 25 so an external server wich wants to deliver mail 
to you is able to do so.

greetings from Germany

Thunderbird is failing to find settings for socketTLS set in imap and
smtp conf.  Is there a way to get this to work?

<tls socketTLS="true" startTLS="false">
