in thunderbird you have two options

"SSL/TLS"
"StARTTLS"

on port 465 you have to use "SSL/TLS"
the same for imaps/pop3s on dedicated ports

if port / enycryption is in the wrong combination it will not
work, happens most time if you changed the ports manually
while doing some tests, after that the dialog will no longer
set the correct combination

normally thunderbir dchanges the port to 25/465 depending on
the encryption-method

this is a problem in the client-configuration and not the server
as long there is no firewall involved
