    So far this setting also works for me:

    Server Name: value.http.ph PORT 995
    Security Settings: SSL
    Outgoing STMP Server value.http.ph PORT 465
    User Secure Connection: SSL

    I was not aware that the recent upgrade also affected the webmail system, so it took me a while to figure out re-configuring my Thunderbird, but there hope that helps.

    Finally, I found the information I was searching for. I have been doing research on this subject, and for four days I keep entering sites that are supposed to have what I’m looking for, only to be discouraged with the lack of what I wanted. I wish I could have found your web-site sooner! I had about 30% of what I was looking for and your site has that, and the rest of what I needed to complete my research. Thank you and keep up the good work!
