In older versions, there used to be an option to click or unclick "Use secure authentication" but in this version, this option is not present in server configuration. Thanks for your answer

But in connect security and identification metode you can change the type of security in version 45.4.

This is the printscreen of Server configuration in my version (sorry, it's in spanish). What is the type of security that I need?

My problem is this : The identification with imap server is incorrect. It asks me about my password.

But the setting of imap and smtp is correct, and the password too, any ideas?

Seguridad de la conexión is ok. Metodo de identificación: You can test with option "Autodetectar".

Note: Your configuration is POP, not IMAP.

The mail I'm using says that POP setting is not available, Is this the problem?

I don't have other ideas, but "Use secure authentication" not exits in thunderbird. Is a settings the microsoft outlook. I think you should ask your provider the configuration.
