What is causing my SMTP timeout error?

When I send emails using thunderbird I am frequently getting the error message:
"sending of email message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to the SMTP server smtp.googlemail.com timed out. Try again or contact your system administrator"
I have tried disabling AVG antivirus and my windows firewall but that has not helped, I've even created exceptions to the firewall for thunderbird.
Any help would be appreciated.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

  • All of a sudden I cannot Forward emails in TB 31.1.2 - I get SMTP timeout error

    And I've tried everything. Shutdown Emsisoft virus prot., turned off firewall, got into Verizon router (btw, I'm going right into the Verizon router-not thru a switch), no port forwarding, even tried to forward an email in Safe mode in Win 8.1 x64. This just happened. I can Write an email OK (i.e., from scratch), but just forwarding, even a small text message won't forward. I even installed an older version of TB. HELP! HELP!
    I either get the SMTP timeout error or I get "check your email and messaging settings." My wife has the exact same setup in TB 31.1.2 but she uses Win 7 x86. -gg

    This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
    Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
    The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
    '''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
    Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
    * While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
    * Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).

  • What causes the VISA timeout error 1073807339?

    I'm getting this error while using a HP audio analyzer. The error also says "Timeout expired before operation completed." Can anyone give me any info on this?

    Hi
    Try increasing your timeout value. Check this link too: http://www.ni.com/support/labview/visa/verr2.htm
    Hope this helps

  • What is causing this "The timeout period elapsed during the post-login phase."?

    This is happening on a shared environment running DataCenter.  We are doing a bulk merge of about 100 plus records.  It is failing in different spots but always the same error.  Sql has no error logs, and we are not seeing locks. 
    We need some hints as to what this error message really means.  
    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Connection Timeout Expired.  The timeout period elapsed during the post-login phase. 
    The connection could have timed out while waiting for server to complete the login process and respond; Or it could have timed
    out while attempting to create multiple active connections.  The duration spent while attempting to connect
    to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=1; handshake=1; [Login] initialization=0; authentication=0;
    [Post-Login] complete=14000;  ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The wait operation timed out

    Well, at first hand, it looks like a "time-out", obviously.
    I would check the system's resources, if it's extremely busy at that time at first. Especially CPU.. and general Login statistics

    You don't set a CLASSPATH with Tomcat. It ignores
    your system CLASSPATH if you have one, so if that's
    what you mean by "in there", that's not helping you.
    You need to find the JAR with that .class file in it
    and put it in TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib. That way every
    context running on that Tomcat server will see it.
    If that's what you have, then I don't know why you're
    getting this error.
    %He's beyond that - just didn't have commons-logging.jar, now he does.
    OP - I don't know about your next problem, but it's only a "warning" - looks like if you're not trying to do attachments with the API, you'll be fine. Otherwise, apparently you'll need some J2EE jar in your run-time classpath - is that happening on the client side, or the server side (shouldn't be the latter, as it is running in a J2EE container, so I wouldn't expect it to complain about not finding those classes)

  • Started having "smtp timeout error" when sending e-mail, after installing Thunderbird update on 1.4.15 .How to undo the update?

    has you anti virus vendor sent their update yet to fix the problem?
    If not, turn off outgoing email scanning in your anti virus program.

    I receive emails just fine, sending is the problem. I've had this problem for a few months now and it's getting really annoying.

    The actual error message:

    The only thing I got from the log:

    I am using a DSL Modem, however I'm in Germany using Telekom. The modem is a Speedport 724v (pretty restrictive in general), which is actually a modem/router combo (I hate them but there was no other option).
    After doing a port scan this is what I've found (hopefully this is accurate):

  • SMTP transient error

    Sometimes I get the following error message.
    ORA-29278
    which means
    (SMTP transient error: string
    Cause: An SMTP transient error occurred.
    Action: Correct the error and retry the SMTP operation.)
    My problem is this does not happen all the time. If the form works and then i get this message how can i track it down. I think someone here is doing something with the smtp. How do i know that smtp is working right now.

    thanks for pointing out that documentation issue, i'll log it in a bit. we now call those internal preferences "engine settings". you can get to that section of the admin screens by clicking the first link available in the htmldb_admin interface called "Manage Engine Settings". make sure you do set your SMTP_HOST_ADDRESS and SMTP_HOST_PORT preferences from there before you do this mail stuff. once that's set, you can push you queue with a command like...
    wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
    wwv_flow_platform.get_preference('SMTP_HOST_ADDRESS'),
    wwv_flow_platform.get_preference('SMTP_HOST_PORT'));
    ...but you'll find your FLOWS_ user already has that db job scheduled by default. about your smtp error, i'd confirm that it's not a db issue first by trying to send mail from the operating system level. if you can send mail from there (w/o using the db and not from within html db), do let us know. the url in your error message, http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html, seems to suggest that the problem has to do with your SMTP server, so eliminating the other variables (like the db and html db) would be a good start.

    I have blownout the server and reinstalled the operating system and SCVVM and applied all the current updates to no avail. I have the exact same issue again. The problem seem to be at least on the serface an authority problem because I have no problem creating
    new VM via the P2V process on an old Virtual Server running on Win2003R2.
    Oh yes I can create new virtual machines on the system in question and move them to the library as was suggested to verify in a Blog post so I am really wondering what the problem is?
    Configuration Analyzer Just gave me a warning about reporting not being setup on the VVM which it isn't so no suprise there?
    Any information that might help me figure this would be greatly appreciated

    I've looked at both threads, and there simply isn't enough information for me to tell you what is wrong.  Please collect a trace (instructions in General forum) and open a case with CSS.  CSS can provide more in depth analysis than what a forum
    post allows.

    Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?

    Hi,
    I have a simple mapping that load data from external table to target fact table. From OWB Runtime Audit browser, the Execution Details page show the status= Complete + <Red error sign>. And the value under Data error count is 2563. Where can I look for information about what has caused this errors or what the data error are? The SQL*Loader log file looks OK and no bad file generated. And I don't see suspecious under WB_RT_AUDIT*, WB_RT_ERROR tables It's owb9ir2 on 9iDB Thanks.

    Solved. I set the audit level to the highest and re-executed and can see the error msg now. It would be nice if audit broser can show the report for all the rejected rows.

    cause i have the write path and the input file has data

    and the permission is to write first time then append to itBy "permission" is meant the operating system controlled rights that let
    particular users do specified things with specified files or directories.
    the error message is a the title of the message
    I/O error writing to output fileThe java runtime actually creates a much more useful error message than
    this but, unfortunately, your program is swallowing this error message and
    replacing it with the message you see.
    Somewhere in your code you have something like:try {
        // all sorts of stuff goes here
        // including the code that is intended to
        // write to the file
    } catch(IOException ioe) {
        System.out.println("I/O error writing to output file");
            // add this line
        //ioe.printStackTrace();
    }It might say Exception rather than IOException.
    To get a much more useful error message add the commented line.
