I'm trying to configure a new SMTP server, but I get an error when I try to send email through this server. This is the info in the Entry field:
Using 'C:\appsx86\Memecode\Scribe\ssleay32.dll'
Using 'C:\appsx86\Memecode\Scribe\libeay32.dll'
Connecting to smtphm.sympatico.ca:587...
Error 0: Connection timeout.
Error: OpenSSLSocket.cpp:755 - BIO_do_connect failed.
SSL connection closed.
Failed to connect socket to smtphm.sympatico.ca:587

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Is there any way to increase the connection timeout period?

I've succeeded in configuring Windows Live Mail 2011 to send via SMTP. Would it help if I sent you the connection.log file for an email sent through Live Mail?

Being unable to send emails is rather unpleasant.

Thunderbird has a neat feature that auto-configures email accounts. Using this, I discovered that STARTLS will actually work with my account, despite the documentation suggesting to use SSL.

This problem is no longer an issue, although, I do recommend installing Thunderbird to detect configuration issues for new accounts.

Currently there is an API for setting the timeout, which works. But it's not user accessible. I'm happy to add some user interface in a future release.

This is something that I will add at some point. It's just a matter of finding the time.
