Can't send mail with Bresnan.net that is now Charter

more options

My email server used to be Bresnan.net, and it has changed hands and is now Charter. Charter moved our bresnan mail and gave us these settings below. I can receive email, but I cannot sent it. I've been on the phone twice to Charter Support and they keep telling me it's Thunderbird's fault. I've have all my mail accounts as POP mail, and incoming works great. Outgoing, gets timed out. I also tried creating an IMAP account, and same thing.

Does anyone have any suggestions, Charter doesn't have a clue.
