Could be several things . . . most commonly, you need a check in the "My
server requires authentication" checkbox in your account setup. Other
possibilities include the checkboxes for SSL and antivirus software updates
interfering, in which you would disable email scanning. Please post the
entire error message for better assistance. Cut-n-paste it here.
