I am not able to send Emails.

I get the following message - 

Sending of message failed.
Please verify that your Mail & Newsgroups account settings are correct and try again.

About Mail & Newsgroups account settings.

I know nothing about these type of settings and only want to send Emails. I am using Ubuntu 13.04 and Thunderbird mail.

The Thunderbird help site do not answer this problem.

Have you seen this?

It shows necessary configure steps for your GMail account, as well as links to both automatic and manual configuration of Thunderbird.

Update: did some google searching for you. Here's a similar problem with a solution that is not confirmed.

  • Sounds good. I will go there and check it out. Never got this type of help with MS. – heldeman Aug 14 '13 at 11:14
  • I now get the message - Unable to locate mail spool file. - What is a mail spool file. Is it something that I must install. – heldeman Aug 14 '13 at 11:27
  • I'm guessing that you've setup some kind of "linux internal mail" account instead of an IMAP/POP3 account. – l3dx Aug 14 '13 at 11:33
  • Ok. I am un-installing Tbird and re-install. Will be back. – heldeman Aug 14 '13 at 11:37
  • I have re-installed. Clicking on Tbird icon it opens and immediately on top give a small alert window with -- Unable to locate mail spool file. – heldeman Aug 14 '13 at 12:00
  • @heldeman I updated my answer. – l3dx Aug 14 '13 at 12:51
  • Cant fix Tbird then tried Claws with the same problem. Installed Sypheed and no problems. It seems to be a niece package. Thanks for all the help. – heldeman Aug 14 '13 at 13:26
