Cannot send email thru Thunderbird using Gmail account
I've tried setting up my Gmail account thru Thunderbird and everything works fine until I try to send a message and I get the below error.
"Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again."
Below is some of the info from the Thunderbird Troubleshooting page on my account too for setup.
