EMAIL not going out from emClient
In recent days or a week or so my email is not going out from using the emclient email client. I am able to receive email. It fails for 2 different accounts but worked recently and I have made no changes.
I can send hughesnet email from webmail and from my cell phone.
I can send gmail, and other mail, from emclient. Just not hughesnet email.
SMTP is configured for port 587
Please help.
It looks like the email client has recommended a solution that works, and appears to be working now.
One of the options in the SMTP setup is "Use SSL on a special legacy port".
I'm not sure what the means, in detail, but it worked when changed.
Thanks for everyone's help and for your patience with my ignorance.

I will do that. Although emClient works fine for other non-hughesnet accounts, which seems to eliminate emClient as the culprit. I will, however, include it there.
Yes, you may be right and it may be the HN connection, but I imagine other people on that site may be on satellite and may be able to help. I hope others here on this site will chime in; they may know much more than I do, so keep checking!
these error messages:
both with and without SSL security enabled

For HughesNet POP (I don't recommend using IMAP):
POP incoming: mail.hughes.net, 995POP outgoing: smtp.hughes.net, 465
For anyone else, you'd have to consult their instructions.
Other than that, the developer of the client may not have allowed for enough of a timeout window. That sometimes happens as well and might not account for latency on satellite.
