Thunderbird Gmail problem SMTP

[eyes70]

Hello Avast,

I use Thunderbird 17 with a gmail imap account.

receiving: imap.gmail.com with port 143 (SSL)

For sending (SMTP) I use:

smtp.gmail.com port 587 (STARTTLS)

When I want to send email I get an error that the certificate for smtp.gmail.com:587 is not good.

Do you know any solution for this.

Kind regards,

[Pondus]

is this related to avast?
does it work if you turn off avast mail shield?


if not a avast problem, have you tried Gmail support forum?

Before I had a problem with receiving email and a certificate which was not allright. On this forum I found the solution not too use port 933 but 143. So I thought maybe this forum can help me aswell with this problem.
