Troubleshooting error messages that you receive when you are using OL and OE
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813514

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection, it may be causing the problem, and even Symantec says
it's not necessary:

paste
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

That's relatively obvious since all other mail is http not pop3. Http
didn't use SPA, only one server and because of that no authentication

N.B. Don't necessarily extrapolate this for mail servers other than

For OE:
is required in the Email address field **and** the
Account
Name field in both incoming and outgoing server(the outgoing can be
ignored
if the user checks the setting on the Outgoing Mail Server/Settings
tab
to use the same as the incoming server).
SPA should be unchecked i.e. 'Off' for both Incoming and Outgoing
Servers Leave the Outgoing Server requires Authentication checked.

For OL:
is required in the E-mail address field ***and** the
Username field in both Logon Information/Username field and the More
Settings/Outgoing Server/Username filed
- similar to OE if one chooses the option to use the same settings
as the incoming server on the Outgoing Server tab, the

is not
necessary on that tab.
Leave the My Outgoing Server requires authentication checked on the
More
Settings/Outgoing server tab.
SPA - same as above, unchecked...i.e. 'Off' for both Incoming and
Outgoing Servers

Ports:
As instructed or posted earlier..
Incoming 995, Outgoing 25
