Connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.zoho.com failed

Connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.zoho.com failed

I am using Thunderbird with POP/SMTP and have recently been unable to send mail. The message from Thunderbird is: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.zoho.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again." My settings are:
      Server Name: smtp.zoho.com
      Port: 465
      Connection security: SSL/TLS
      Authentication: Normal password
      User Name:  ******@zohomail.com

I ran a tracert with these results (first few omitted):

tracert smtp.zoho.com
