These are two PNG files of the Linux Evolution email client. I am using
Sympatico HSE. In my case it is VDSL, but should work on any Bell
Sympatico HSE. 

I have not tried these settings with ThunderBird. Previously I tried
almost every possible SMTP sending combination on Thunderbird, but it
would never send email.  I could recieve mail okay, just could not send
Bell Sympatico email out on Thunderbird.
 
I was having problems with the Sympatico port 25 filtering and Linux
email clients. However, these settings seem to work okay with Evolution.
(v2.02)

I am behind a NAT/Firewall and mail still can be sent and recieved okay
now. Alrighty then.

Another solution someone recommended was to use SSH and create a SSH
tunnel. How does one create a SSH tunnel just for SMTP traffic? I am not
going to do that now of course, but it would be good to know as well.
