In discussions with Paul on the phone tonight.  This is Reckon Accounts PLUS 2017 R1,  on Windows 10.    Some work is needed to get Outlook 2016 operational itself, as tests to send/receive emails within Outlook itself are failing to begin with.  Chances are,  if Outlook is made operational,  then Reckon to Outlook connections should be okay.  SO a little work on the former to be done.

Elizabeth - Can you confirm that you are running invoices from Reckon Accounts desktop (2016 or newer)  out via Thunderbird,  whilst running Windows 10?   If so,  can you confirm it is in iMAP mode, say on port 465?   Such a clue would help Paul aim at giving Thunderbird another go.
