I'm able to receive emails from my Verizon email in Thunderbird but I am unable to send them. I get an error ""Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.aol.com was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again.""

Both smtp.aol.com and smtp.verizon.com DO NOT WORK and give the same error

I've disabled my firewall and confirmed that I am able to login with the same info through aol webmail
