    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
