When will Centurylink finish working on email system? Cannot send out emails with Thunderbird

For a month I have not been able to send out emails. I receive them but cannot forward or send new messages. All my settings from Centurylink are correct. They keep telling me that they are working on "stuff" and cannot give me an answer as to when they will be finished.
Does anyone know any thing about this or if it will be ever resolved? Should I delete and re install Thunderbird? It worked fine one day, the next I cannot sent out anything. this is what I get after a long wait.
Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtpauth.centurytel.net timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.

Hi Matt,
Thank for for taking the time to reply. I am not sure how one checks the anti virus. I have had Eset Nod for ages and have had no problems with anything. My email send outs worked fine then didn't. Centurylink keeps telling me that they are working on issues but it is taking way to long.

  • TS3276 I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

    I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

    I had this problem too but I fixed it today.
    Go to the mail menu preferences.
    Click on account in question.
    Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
    Click on the advanced button.
    Make sure use default port is checked.
    Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
    Have authentication set to password.
    User name should be your email address for that account.
    Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
    Push the ok button.
    For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
    I hope this helps.

  • Since upgraded phone to 2.0, cannot send out email

    I recently upgraded my iphone to 2.0 (mistake!) and now cannot send out email from my iphone. I have tried deleting all my email accounts and re-setting it up on my iphone rather than syncing with my computer but it still will not send out email. I can send out email from my computer and used the same settings for both...

    Also having mixed success sending mail on the iPhone, which is disappointing because I haven't had to send a lot of messages. Out of about 6 attempts, I've had two replies completely disappear. They weren't sent, they weren't in the outbox to send later. They just disappeared. One was while on my home network, the other was while I was traveling. I am very bothered that the emails aren't saved to try and send later.

  • Cannot send out emails

    I could not send out mail, kep asking for password but kept rejecting it. This is the box I kep getting even after I put in my password for my iCloud.
    Enter password for account .Mac
    The iCloud IMAP server “p05-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user ”[email protected]
    Enter your password again or cancel.
    Can someone help me? Thanks.

    Sometimes this seems to correct itself with icloud just having a bad day, but often deleting and recreating the account in Mail>Preferences>Accounts seems to resolve it. Has worked for me 2 or 3 times with my me.com account.
    When you delete the account all your emails will disappear but re-appear when you re-create it, as it's IMAP.
    I still keep a backup of my important emails, just in case, but have never needed them.

  • Verizon Email Problem, cannot send to email address with new gTLD

    I found out that Verizon Email system does not allow me to send any emails to those new domains with more than 3 characters in their last portion. e.g. [email protected] 
    How to report this problem?

    1. I've never seen that happen. Could you copy the error you're getting? I'd like to try to duplicate it for my own edification.
    2. You report it by contacting Verizon tech support. There are options on their Contact Us page in the footer.

  • I cannot send out emails from my iPad,says my email address was rejectected by server. I am receiving mail, but can't send?

    When sending emails from iPad,I get message: email was rejected by server.  I am receiving mail to rejected email address

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

  • Use webmail. With FF 16 or 17, can receive emails, but cannot send an email. Have to reinstall FF 15 to completely use webmail

    no error message comes up - nothing happens when I click to send - and also, just tried to save an appointment. Nothing happened and no error message. I've gone back again to FF 15.

  • When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the save button it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found."

    When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help   

  • HT3529 Is iMessage down? And when will it be working properly ?

    I'm texting other iPhone users and the iMessage stops at the end before sending and then just turns into a text message. Please need help. When will iMessage start working ? Are the iMessage servers down?

    Both myself and my best friend have had issues with iMessage today.  Tried to turn it off and on again and now it's not working at all and is "waiting for activation".  I haven't asked any of my other iPhone friends, but am starting to wonder if it's system wide?

  • I work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements.  When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment.  Any ideas?

    i work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements.  When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment.  Any ideas?

    i have scrolled left, right, up and down on iphone4, iphone5 and ipad and the attachment simply does not exist.  It has to be something with the apple mail client setup because for any mail client, if they go to the webemail thru safari, the attachment is there and it can be viewed without issue.
    I know there are plenty of people out there with this issue with the mail clients set up that you access thru the email icon on the iphone and ipad but i cannot find anyone with a resolution.  I cannot find any settings in the mail client setup that has anything to do with attachments or for what attachments can or cannot be read or seen.
    Hopefully someone out there has figured something out because this is an odd one.

  • Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?

    The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

    I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

  • I have what I think is the original Ipad, and it will no longer send out emails.  Is it possible to update it, or am I just stuck with a $500 electronic device that will no longer work the way I need it to.  Some of the original apps will no longer work

    I have what I think is the original Ipad, and suddenly it will no longer send out emails and some of the apps that worked prior to the newer Ipads coming out will no longer work.  Can this be updated, or am I stuck with an expensive electronic device that will no longer serve my needs?
