Hello, Outgoing emails won't send. I can receive them but nothing goes out. I receive the following message which I don't understand as my email address is correct in my account. Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Authentication Required (VM401). Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

Please help.

Regards, Mike.

Right-click your account and choose Settings. In the Account Settings tab that opens, under the Default Identity heading, click the Edit SMTP Server button. In the dialog that opens, what do you have for: Port Authentication method Connection security?
