No SMTP Authentication for Thunderbird or Outlook?

Wow, this one is killing me. I have a Mini with Snow Leopard Server running mail. I use CRAM-MD5 authentication and SSL connections for both IMAP and SMTP.

I HAD to get a Windows 7 netbook to run QuickBooks and Office (not my choice), so now I'm trying to connect either the Outlook 2010 client or a Thunderbird client with one of my accounts so QuickBooks can send invoices, etc...

I was able to connect to IMAP with both clients using the SSL connection. I can't remember the level of authentication that worked for Thunderbird, but I had to drop to PLAIN for Outlook to work.

Now the hair-pulling problem... The SMTP authentication and connection methods don't work for either client. NONE of them in any combination. Even dropping SSL and going to PLAIN don't work.

Does anyone have any idea what this is all about?

Thanks.
