Title: Configuring my Tormail account with thunderbird&enigmail
Post by: seshat on September 02, 2012, 12:31 am
Hello SR community Newb here with some difficulties trying to figure out GPG On mac osx.

I followed this tutorial down to all the little details
http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/604845-9-Easy-Steps-An-OSX-Tutorial-for-Setting-up-Tormail-with-Thunderbird-Enigmail

So I have created a tormail account, attached enigmail to my thunderbird client, Downloaded GPG, but i cannot seem to configure my tormail account to thunderbird.
When i try to set up the tormail account, I enter a username and my tormail username and password,  I get this message
"Configuration could not be verified, is the username or password wrong?" (I correctly entered in this information)
However, when i close out of this it appears that the email account WAS added to the thunderbird client, however when i try sending an email i get this message.
"Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server tormail.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact the server administrator."
So basically I can't get my Tormail account, which is currently in working order, to configure with the Thunderbird Client through the tor network, if i understand correctly.
I am really trying to figure out how to use this site and others securely, I really admire the know how of a lot of people on here and i hope one of you can help me out so i can take advantage of this wonderful marketplace as soon as possible.
