Hello Tamara, The short answer is that you probably have your password encryption, on the phone, set incorrectly.
Unlike in the old days, it is not enough to enter the correct username and password; items such as SSL certificates and how the password is encrypted must also be addressed. As if this were not enough, some internet service providers (ISPs) insist on a certain type of encryption be used in order to send mail from their SMTP servers. They do this in an attempt to prevent spam from being sent from their servers. Again, in keeping with the short answer, and assuming that you want to learn how to do this for yourself, I suggest that you go through each item in the mail configuration area and explore it thoroughly being careful to listen for any item that is labeled as a button. When you encounter any button, even if it seems self explanatory, activate it and explore each item within it. If you do this correctly, you will find that at times you will have drilled down several levels which, can be a bit confusing, at first. Pay special attention to any items that are labeled as pop-up buttons. Explore the pop-ups especially if they have anything to do with security. So, getting your SMTP server settings correct is not difficult but it can be a bit tedious. In fact, one of my least favorite things to do is to configure mail server settings for unfamiliar domains and/or mail hosts.

I've finally decided that I need to address this problem. When I try to send an email, I get an error message that indicates that my username and/or password for the SMTP server is incorrect. I've checked the username and password and they are typed correctly. I have a gmail account and an earthlink account and neither will let me send. My ISP is Comcast/Xfinity. Any suggestions as to what I can try would be greatly appreciated. Tamara -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
