03sixbanger,
A Google Search for the Error:
Account: 'pop.aim.com', Server: 'smtp.aim.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server
Response: '556 CLIENT AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED. USE ESMTP EHLO AND AUTH.',
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 556, Error Number: 0x800CCC78
Appears to me at least to be an error with a IMAP acct, not a POP3 acct. Did you
set this up as an IMAP or a POP3 acct? I have the settings that I use for these
two types accts, listed below. I have check them sending from different AIM
accounts, and they seem to be working fine, right now.
Try Unchecking in the Acct's Properties window, and try these settings"
1. Server tab:
a. Try using smtp.aol.com instead of smtp.aim.com.
You might have to change it back in the future. Sometimes I have to do that with
my AIM accts once a month, especially on a weekend. I don't know if they are
doing maintenance on the server.
b. Make sure the box requiring Outgoing Mail server Authenication is Check.
c. Under the Setting button, change automatically using Incoming Server
UserID & Password. Choose the other option and add your AIM UserID (without
"@aim.com") and password.
2. On the Advance tab:
a. Use Port: 587 for Outgoing Server.
b. Clear the box under Outgoing Server Port setting, for SSL connection.
c. Extend timeout for the acct to the max, in OE it's 5 mins, I forgot what
it was in WM or WLM.
For my AIM "POP3" accts I have the following settings:
Server tab:
Incoming Server: pop.aol.com or pop.aim.com
Outgoing Server: smtp.aol.com or smtp.aim.com
Advance Tab:
Incoming Server Port: 110
Outgoing Server Port: 587
Outgoing Server requires SSL is Checked.
For my AIM "IMAP" accts I have the following settings:
Server tab:
Incoming Server: imap.aol.com or imap.aim.com
Outgoing Server: smtp.aol.com or smtp.aim.com
Advance Tab:
Incoming Server Port: 143
Outgoing Server Port: 587
Outgoing Server requires SSL is UNchecked.
