When I try to send email from Thunderbird a box comes up saying:-

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.live.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.

This is a recent problem, following an update of W10, and also I think one for TB.

What do I do?
