Was using Outlook 2003, upgraded to Outlook 2007, and can not send emails.
I get a message from the System Administrator, saying "554 Authentication
Failed, must login"

This started about Oct. 15, and I switched to Thunderbird as a mail client,
and thought the upgrade to 2007 would siolve the problem, but it has not. I
have no problems in Thunderbird, but I perfer using Outlook. Any ideas as to
why and what I can do to solve the problem?

Copy and paste the error message. Do not describe it. Do not
summarize it. Show it.

With the actual error message, my guess is that you must now
authenticate to their SMTP server. It is a configuration setting in
the e-mail account(s) that you defined in Outlook.

So did enabling authentication to your SMTP server in the e-mail
account defined in Outlook help to get rid of the error?

I have not been able to enable authentication to the SMTP server. How do I go
about doing this? Thanks for your efforts. I really appreciate it. pwf

"e-mail account defined in Outlook"
Go into the email account that you defined in Outlook.

"enabling authentication to your SMTP server"
Select the option to enable authentication to your SMTP server. It's
under the Outgoing Server tab (after you click the More Settings
button) for the SMTP settings.

I still use OL2002. Navigate through menus and tabs in your version
may differ.
