When sending an email I get the following:

Sending of message failed. The SMTP server smtp-server.cfl.rr.com does not seem to support encrypted passwords. If you just set up the account, please try changing to 'Password, transmitted insecurely' as the 'Authentication method' in the 'Account Settings | Server settings'. If it used to work and now suddenly fails, this is a common scenario how someone could steal your password.

Not many providers use encrypted passwords. Since this is for sending have you changed to normal password under SMTP server settings?

Thank you for your kind response. I have tried doing the changes according to the instructions and I am still getting the same message.

IMAP is my server type, but the message Sending of a failed message error message keeps popping up -- now.

You would do better to start you own thread and actually state your problem with any details that you have. The error messages tells you to check your server settings.

FYI: IMAP is for inbound email so if you are having problems sending, the IMAP server has nothing to so with that. SMTP servers send email.
