Setting up with Thunderbird Not Working

I'm trying to set up Thunderbird (IMAP) with my Shaw email, but it doesn't seem to be working right. It's receiving emails fine, but if I try to send any, I get an error message saying that it timed out. I used the settings listed on the site, listed below, so I'm not sure what the issue could be. Any input would be gratefully received.

Settings I used:

Account Type: IMAP
Username: Your Shaw email address without @shaw.ca
Password: Your Shaw email password
Email address: Your Shaw email address
Incoming Server Name: imap.shaw.ca
Incoming Server Security Type: SSL (SSL/TLS option in Thunderbird)
Incoming Server Port: 993
Outgoing Server Name: mail.shaw.ca
Outgoing Server Security Type: TLS (SSL/TLS option in Thunderbird)
Outgoing Server Port: 587

Thunderbird did automatically try to set the outgoing port as 465, so I tried that as well, and that too failed.

I'm using Windows 10 on a laptop, for reference.
