Error occurred: Incorrect authentication data

Post by cjholdsworth »

Hello,
I have been trying to automate an email to go out, but I am failing at the authentication of data. I am SURE my credentials are correct.
The email server is a simple one that comes with my hosted plan.
I have entered in the message details and the SMTP server details but still get this error.
I am using port 587
SSL/TLS mode none
Authentication required, tick with my correct details

These details are the same as I use to send email on my phone and on my PC.

I have tried using gmail as the server and this works (though Google doesn't like it very much and you have to allow less secure apps.

Any ideas?

What error message do you get exactly?
What mail server do you use?
