Hello!
Our engineers have made a change to address this, please confirm if you're able to access e-mail again. I've received one confirmation so far from another customer who posted here in the community.

OK based on what you sent, please try these and let me know if any of them work:
- Disable SSL in the SMTP configs since you're using port 587, or change the port to 465
- Reset your password in case there was a password de-sync
- Disconnect the account from the client and re-add it

No! Problem has not been fixed... still the same error message "The User name or password for smtp.hughes.net is incorrect"
Hi Jayne,
Thanks for letting me know. To clarify, you usually check your e-mail via the iOS Mail app? You're seeing that error message in that app?
In the meantime, I'll escalate your address to our e-mail team. Can you please check if Dave's e-mail is accessible?

Yes. I deleted my email when it wasn't working to set it up again to see if that would solve the problem. And now in the set up, after entering my username and password, the system goes thru "Verifying" and I get the error message "The User name or password for smtp.hughes.net is incorrect". David's email is still installed, but he is not able to send, error message "The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.hughes.net" failed.
Neither of us made any changes before we started experiencing these failures.
Thank you for these details, Jayne, I'll add them to my escalated case for you. I'll keep you posted!
