Do you have a check in the "My server requires authentication" box? (It's in
the Server Tab on the account properties).

You submitted two separate error messages. The first pertains to
receiving, the second pertains to sending.

For the receive error: Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account,
Properties, Servers. Uncheck the box for "Log on using Secure
Password Authentication."

For the send error, were you at home when that happened, or on a
laptop away from home? You can try substituting port 587 for port 25.

Thanks. Changing the port worked.
