Have you tried Clearing history, cache, cookies on your browser? Changing the settings as per this post? Yes, I've cleared all cookies cache etc. on two different computers. Pffft The difference between port 25 and port 110 VS 465 (with SSL) and 995 (with SSL), is the finer points of the error message: WITH 465 & 995 with SSL the error messages are: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.hughes.net', Server: 'smtp.hughes.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.hughes.net', Server: 'mail.hughes.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F Thus with these settings I can neither send nor receive. However, if I revert to 25 &110 (with NO SSL) I can at least receive and I get only one (not two), but similar error messsage: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.hughes.net', Server: 'smtp.hughes.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F To be clear, on two different computers, with port 25 and port 110, no SSL I can receive but not send. With ports changed to 465 & 995, with SSL I can neither send nor receive and simply get an extra bonus error message. I'm surfing the web just fine and everything else is working just dandy, so it ain't on my end people, stop making excuses and get it fixed. Pitiful What's next? Have you cleaned the bird poop off your dish, are the saucer people in the way? Flux capacitor?
