    Thank you for posting and I am sorry to hear this. Your username and password are correct and this is not something you caused on your end.

This resolves on its on at random and there is no current fix for it outside of using direct email methods for the time being. I apologize for any inconvenience this is causing. -Damian

Thank you for the information.  I already suspected this for reasons why I may lost it for an hour or two periodically however I've never had it be an issue for 3 days before.  Fortunately all 3 of my emails accounts are now sending on the Desktop as approx noon EST so all issues resolved.
