I can't connect to my server pop receive an authentication failure message

I use Thunderbird for years, but suddenly, it does not connect to my email (hotmail.com). I get the error message attached. I don't know if the problem is with my server settings or with hotmail. Any suggestions very much welcome. Thank you.

Maybe the https://portal.office.com/servicestatus where it says

Title: Cannot access or synchronize Outlook.com E-mail

Impact of the user: users may be unable to access or to synchronize their Outlook.com accounts when using applications or mobile devices.

More information: while we focus on sanitation, users may be able to access the service by accessing their Outlook.com account with a web browser as an alternative method.

Current situation: we have completed the fix and deploy throughout the affected environment. While the patch is being deployed, some users begin to access and synchronize their Outlook.com accounts when using applications or mobile devices.

  • Unable to send emails, SMPT can not connect to the server

    I use the latest version of the EL CAPTAIN 10.11.04, just updated software, and I can not send my emails is to show only SMTP error can not connect to the server.

    I can receive emails, but cannot send emails. I deleted the account and reinstalled it once again changed the SMTP Port 25, 465, 993 trying all of them.

    Please advice, or guide me what I am doing wrong, or what I can do to fix this error.

    Please take each of the following steps that you have already tried, tests after each of them. Back up all data before making any changes.

    Step 1

    In the Mail menu bar, select

    ▹ Connection Doctor window

    In the window that opens, double-click on behalf of SMTP (outgoing mail) problem. it. another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Choose the one that you clicked.

    Select the Advanced tab in the settings for the account and check the box marked

    Automatically detect and maintain the account settings

    If it is not already done.

    If there is more than one account of the problem, repeat. Close the window and save the changes.

    Step 2

    Open again the list of SMTP servers. Note the problem server settings, then click the sign button less to delete and confirm. Click on the sign more and recreate the account with the same settings.

    If you use Gmail, remove the account completely in the preferences panel accounts Internet and re-create it. The option "detect and maintain" must be selected in advanced settings for the incoming mail account.

    Messages will be again synchronized with the server automatically. Which can last for hours if the mailboxes are very large.

    Step 3

    Quit Mail runs. Launch the Keychain Access app and enter the name of the server of mail out in the search box. For example, if you use Gmail, enter

    SMTP.gmail.com

    Make a note of the password, and then delete the keychain items. The next time Mail connects to the server, it will prompt for the password. Enter and save the password in the keychain.

    Step 4

    If you use Gmail, sign in to your account on the site, and in the account settings, click the "Sign-in and security." There should be an option somewhere on the page to "allow applications that are less safe." Enable this option and save the change. Note: I don't use Gmail and I have not tested this solution myself. If it does not, either make you on Google user forums for help, stop trying to use Gmail with the e-mail, or just stop using Gmail altogether (strongly recommended).

    The mail server can use a form low, obsolete encryption for secure communications with customers. Recent versions of Mac OS X has changed the behavior of Mail and other applications so that they no longer tolerate low security.

    Log on to the e-mail account on the website and see if there is a security setting, you can change. I can't be more specific. Refer to the documentation of the service provider.

    If there is no adjustment, convince the upgrade of server securityserver administrator. He or she must do it anyway. Low security affects all customers, not only Mac users.

    Otherwise, you have all the right options to continue to use Mail with the service. You can disable SSL in the Advanced account settings, but that is very dangerous and may not work at all.

    You might be able to get a more flexible mail client, such as "Thunderbird", to accept the low security, or perhaps you can access the account via webmail.

    Ideally, you should switch to a provider of postal services better. You would not have this problem with a well-run service. The risk of weak SSL are known for a long time, and to competent server administrators have already taken the simple steps are sufficient to avoid these risks.

  • Windows LIve Mail can't connect to the server

    I tried to configure Windows Live Mail, after that I discovered that Windows 7 does more support OUTLOOK EXPRESS. I don't like the program initially and amazes me that MS provides no living person to help with Windows Live Mail problems. It took several days and consults with sevearl IT professional to get the emails you want to connect to the server (I'm still not 100% sure it is working properly). And now I'm having the same problem in trying to implement the focus groups. I get the error message that I can't connect to the server.

    Is there anyone out there that can really help?

  • 1. can't connect to VMWare Server when no network 2. Comments or lost when lost network connections

    Hello

    I have two guests of computer virtual on my laptop.

    1. I can't connect to VMWare Server when there is no network.

    This means that I can not launch the guests when I'm at home (with no network) or on the road.

    2. the connections are lost when lost network.

    As a corollary to article 1 above, if I am connected to the work, and that the network is lost, my connections are lost for the guests.

    How to configure VMWare so that this doesn't happen, please?  (I inherited the setup of a colleague who has left, so I don't know how it has been implemented).

  • KB2760411, KB2760588, but now "can NOT CONNECT to" SQL Server!

    Today I faced with the same Windows Update problems as many people - with KB2760411 and KB2760588 constantly reinstall - and try to resolve which included several reboots - system
    ())

    BUT now... a serious problem on one of these machines: cannot access SQL Server!
    Fortunately, I did not run these updates on any * production * machines (I do updates on development machines, first) - this is a development machine - but I still need to get working SQL Server of this machine!

    I tried to use a Windows login to connect and tried to use a SQL Server to connect user, and what it in either, looks like the same message:
    "Cannot connect to ."
    A network-related or instance-specific error all by establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server is not found or inaccessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, error: 2)

    Note that for windows, this server running Server 2003 (this is why I chose the value of the drop down menu 'windows xp', below).
    and for sql server, run SQL Server 2005.

    Help!?

    ALSO NOTE: I KNOW THIS ISN'T A "NETWORK ERROR."
    because I get the same message when I remote desktop on the server and try it.
    I did try to look in the windows Server 2003 event viewer, but saw nothing relevant under the security, system or Application.

    When I tried it with a sql server login, I clicked on "Show technical details" and got the below (blank lines removed and replaced with the name of the server):

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not CONNECT to THE SERVER

    Hello need help. My Blackberry Curve 8520 (OS 5.0.0.1036) does not connect to the server. It shows my network (Vodafone) and gets a strong signal; makes and receives calls; connect wifi; but it is also completely static. After the first Setup email screen I get: your device has a connection to the server problm.  (I think it means the Blackberry server?)  So I can not connect any email.  Very well in my other near-identical Curve 8520 Sim Card work.  How can I do please?  Y at - it a reset or software update is complete I can undertake? Thank you, Michael

    If you do a backup/restore, don't do this basically... rather, backup/restore only the databases specific you need (for example, calendar, contacts, messages, etc.) and more precisely to avoid data bases having something to with COMPUTER policy, business, etc.. If you restore those, the it policy will be conscientiously restored to the device, and you will be right where you are now.

    As for a BES Server trying to reach out... There is nothing that I can offer you. Your best bet is to talk to your provider and make sure you have no BES-level service enabled on your account of them. Who should (note 'should'... is there no guarantees) prevent a BES server to reach out and the reactivation of your device.

  • can not connect to vmware server 2, just installed on vista

    so I just install VMware server 2 on professional vista, and I can't connect.

    the installation goes very well, no errors, and I reinstalled twice now and still no success at connect.

    I click on Vmware server home page, it does appear in firefox, I use my login and my password that I use to connect on my computer and I just get:

    "The login failed due to a bad username or password".

    help, please, thank you.

    Hello

    Try activation of your administrator account and setting a password for it.  Then use these credentials to connect.  Once connected, you can set other local accounts to use.  You can then disable the administrator account.

    Hey, just something to try, I have no idea if it is still active, or if you need a solution yet, but I ran into a problem with the connection to our server to work with almost every Machine of Windows 7... I found a solution on a website some time ago, but the solution that I use every week is:

    Go to Regedit, select HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > control > Lsa inside the LSA key, right click on the right window, click New > DWORD (32-bit) value, type the name EXACTLY LmCompatibilityLevel press ENTER, then change this key and set the value to 1.

    You may need to restart the computer for it to take effect, but there the problem of authentication with many Windows 7 Machines (computers laptops, towers) that I worked here. Hope that helped.

    Edit: In fact, the difficulty that I posted was not something that I discovered myself, I found in another forum and posted here to help.

  • can not connect with the server.

    I can't connect to the internet. WI - FI connected and at full power. This just happened and it's never happened before.

    Hi, it seems that there is a problem with the connection between your router and the dsl modem. Make sure the pin of the Ethernet cable is plugged correctly in any LAN port available on DSL Modem and on the WLAN port in the Wifi router.

    Go to 192.168.0.1, run the installation/quick installation program from this interface and make sure that you preferred DNS address type 192.168.1.1 or default of the DSL Modem ip address if you know it's different.

    It is always a good thing to restart both the DSL/ADSL Modem wireless router periodically to refresh the system and you will face less problems like the one you face now. If both modems are enabled for quiet a long time, it can either be hanged or perhaps become hot to damaged. So reboot them once quiet often when not on duty.

    Mark as answer if it answers your Question. Mark as helpful if it helped you continuer.* *.
