I figured it out. On Outgoing mail I had to check Log on using user name and password and update that password. Seems to work now. Port did change from 25 to 465 though.
Hi Waynehughes,
I see it's your first post here, so welcome to the community! Thanks for posting the error, that helps. Have you tried this?
If the steps in the link don't make a difference, try removing and re-adding your HughesNet account in Outlook to see if that fixes things.
Here are the recommended settings:
Outbound Server: email.hughes.net
Port 587
SSL Authentication required

When I attempt is says there is a problem and it won't update
Using for Incomming Mail
mail.hughes.net port 110
Outgoing Mail
smtp.hughes.net port 465
box checked for Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail

Great! Thanks for sharing what you did to make it work. Yes, port 25 is the only port we block to help cut down on spam.
