SMTP timeouts

[Doghouse169]

For the last few days I've been almost unable to send emails from Thunderbird on my PC. Either the "send" gets as far as "Connected to smtp.tools.sky.com", then just hangs until it either times out, or I get a "retry with new password?" message. Anyone know what's going on/have any ideas?

(Whilst it's obviously harder to be sure, and I can't swear to it, inbound mail seems unaffected.)

I've been experiencing the same problem using Windows Live Mail. Surely someone has some advise other than to swap to gmail?

Yes, sorry - should have updated this thread. After speaking to the support guys a couple of times, I was told that it was a known problem, and that they were working on it. In my case, at least, it's been sorted since yesterday.
