ERROR: Read Timeout when attempting configure Email

[tallone]

I have a feeling that this issue stems from something our hosting provider has changed, but I'm not sure how to resolve it.

We have recently found that Send email has stopped working, with no changes to the settings in the 1.4d instance we have been using. It looks as though our hosting provider has recently (finally) enabled SSL, but when I tick this box and specify the port I'm unable to send a test message. A dialogue pops up with "ERROR: Read Timeout".  Frustratingly, this error doesn't appear in the help file or in any other threads. Any ideas?

I've tried updating to version 1.4e, to no avail. This is a Windows 8.1 device.

Thank you.

The mail server is probably not reachable on the port selected. The port may be incorrect or blocked by firewall or ISP.

Thanks for responding Jan. It's definitely the correct address and port - I've been able to add the account to Thunderbird using the same details without any problems. Could it be that the app isn't waiting long enough (for what may be a slow server) to provide a response and throwing an error?

I've tried intentionally entering an incorrect port and note that this generates ERROR: Connection Timed Out instead.

Thanks again

I was able to solve this by replacing the SSL libraries with more recent versions.

Hello,

up

I think i have the same problem ..

Can someone help me to change the SSL file libraries? where should i download it?

Thank you

Original SSL libraries support only TLS 1.1. Many popular email providers now require at least TLS 1.2. I'll update the application in near future, unfortunately I'm very busy now.

Ok, it should be fixed now: https://pira.cz/show.asp?art=silence

Any reports are welcome.
