When I try to send mail I get the following message:
"Sending of message failed. An error occurred sending mail: Unable to

authentication (SMTP-AUTH) but you have chosen to use authentication.
Uncheck 'Use name and password' for that server or contact your
service provider."
Also, it has never asked me for a password. What happens if I
uncheck "use name and password"?
It should work... and your connection will go through.
....and "Use Secure Authentication" is not checked.
When I had that problem with 2.ob1, these instructions cleared up my
problem:
To be sure we're talking about the same settings, go to Edit ->
Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings, Outgoing Server (SMTP) then
select your SMTP server, and click on the *Edit* button.
Under Security and Authentication, make sure "Use name and password"
is NOT checked. Under Use secure connection, select NO.
Hope this helps you... bj
Oh, ya, that does, actually....either I'm going mad or senile or...?? It
seems all the other messages were saying to uncheck "use secure
authentication". Anyway, talked to my ISP and found out that this
setting
is not required and not a privacy concern, either. It just seemed kinda
"iffy" to me. He also mentioned that SM is the first browser he's
heard of
that sets this setting automatically.
I unchecked "Use name and passward",and try to send mail, but:
"Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the
connection to SMTP server smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again or
contact your
network administrator."
My mail server is gmail.
I understand a "time out" message is not uncommon with gmail recently,
because
they've been having more problems than usual. Are you still having this
problem
today?
bj
yep:(
I checked every step for smtp setting on gmail's configuring page,but
the problem's still there.
Receiving messages has no problem,but if I want to reply a mail,I have
to go back to gmail's page! Ridiculous,isn't?
