Problem #1
For the last couple of weeks I have had constant problems and unhappy that tpg customers were not notified that email configurations may have to change.
I operate with 4 email accounts - all on my tpg service , 3 on 1 PC and 1 on another.
I had to reconfigure my outgoing and incoming smtp and pop3 configuration in thunderbird .
My smtp outgoing is configired as follows - with a config for each email account, this seems to work ok
Server name mail.tpg.com.au
Port 465
Connection Security SSL/TLS
Authentication Security Normal Password
User Name xxxxxxxx
on incoming side for each account
User Name xxxxxxxx@tpg.com.au
Server Name mail.tpg.com.au (somehow Thunderbird sees this as a POP3 server address)
port 995
Connection Security SSL/TLS
Authentication Security Normal Password
In addition when one goes looking for information relating to thunderbird configuration on the TPG website at https://support.tpg.com.au/email-setup-thunderbird it is not up to date - in one part it says port 993 and later 995 with connection security SSL/TLS so I have setup to port 995 and it looks like the config is correct so far.
It has taken me a while to get this working
Are these configurations correct???, I think so as all seems fine now.
Problem #2
I have security cameras that used to send me emails (snapshot) on movement detection, They were configured to use one of the tpg accounts I have dedicated for this, however it all stopped with the recent migration to TMC.
Ah - update the cameras smtp outgoing I thought..
The cameras only have SSL as an option but do not connect on port 465 - get newer cameras I thought (these are a bit old now). The new cameras have SSL/TLS on port 465 along with login/password and they still do not work!!! - connection failed... Is there a different port I can try? I have tried port 25 no security and still no go.
Try gmails smtp server I thought on a gmail account I have. Tried outgoing smtp port 465, SSL/TLS - still no go as well as port 25 no security , I am baffled.
