I can't seem to overcome the "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account" error. I'm using Virtualbox (ubuntu, virtual server, virtual workstation, localhost

Servername: angies2020-unix-server local: cis4335.local

Attaching a Virtualbox screenshot of my postfix reconfiguration. I think the problem is here.

Edit Thunderbird

Opened Thunderbird email set up Added name and email address: name@cis4335.local and simple pw

Hit continue and it attempts to find me. Doesn't work of course and I'm taken to the Manual Configuration

incoming IMAP Outgoing SMTP

Changed server hostnames on both to servername.cis4335.local

Both ports are on auto, SSL on autodetect, Authentication on autodetect

Retest and receive the error

Where is your [autoconfig xml](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration)? – Gerald Schneider May 05 '20 at 12:59
And please, don't post screenshots of text that can just be copied and pasted. – Gerald Schneider May 05 '20 at 12:59
