Attempt to connect to hotmail.account - new account in Tbird - domain
[email protected]
ERROR: Could not connect to server localhost, the connection was
refused.
The msn account is an msn premium account that is about to revert to a
standard account.
Was able to create a regular Tbird account for this hotmail account &
it worked.
That account has been deleted from Tbird.
Environment:
Win XP SP3 + hotfixes
Tbird 3.1.1
Webmail 1.3.8
Hotmail 1.2.28
Actions Taken Already:
1. WebMail POP & SMTP servers are running default ports 110 & 25
2. WebMail domain list is populated & shows msn.com
3. WebMail logging enabled.
4. HotMail Add-On options
POP Tab
all unchecked - no folders added to download folders - yet
SMTP Tab
When sending rich text emails which part should be sent - Send
plain
text.
5. Verified host file contains 127.0.0.1 localhost
6. Changed account settings to 127.0.0.1 anyway - no joy - set back to
localhost
7. Briefly dropped Windows Firewall - no joy
8. AVG AntiVirus [paid] 9.0.851 is running. Logs show no issues.
9. The only other Tbird add-on is Mail Tweak 1.0pre10
10. Account Settings in Tbird - this is the only account
POP Mail server localhost port 995 UserName [email protected]
Connection Security SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password
Outgoing SMTP Settings Microsoft Live Hotmail - local host
[default] using port 587
At this point I fear I am missing something really simple.
Please jump right in and confirm my fear.
Thanks
