Suddenly as of two days ago I can't get an email to send. I have worked with support at my local ISP and he tried changing all sorts of settings but none worked. I repeatedly get the responses:

Login to server mail.winfree.com with username Winf failed

Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.winfree.com. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'.

I would appreciate your help very much. I am a doc and have many important emails which must go out.

Many thanks!! Dr. Win Winfree
