sending email via satellite internet fails
I can receive IMAP emails fine, but sending either fails or timesout. I am using satellite broadband at about 8Mbps. Other email programs allow me to increase the timeout period to solve the problem but I cannot find this feature in Thunderbird. TB ver 52.9.1, Windows 7 SP1

There is a preference in Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor, mailnews.tcptimeout, but most timeouts in sending are caused by an antivirus program scanning outgoing mail. If you have such an option, disable it and see if it helps.

Thanks. Please tell us what you find.
Well....... I regret I am unable to go further - it just started working without any further input; all seems fine now. Thanks for your help.
