Microsoft outlook

[StevenB]

I use office outlook to download / send my emails, it now won't send any emails because i need to verify the email address, according to the error box that comes up. the interweb only seems to tell you how to do it it in outlook.com which i presume must be slightly different to the outlook i have The error message is ... cannot send the message, verify the email address in you account properties, the server responded 30 authentication required (VM 401)

Anyone any ideas on how to sort this ?

Thanks

Steve

Thanks for that, i tried what it said which made it worse ! no inbound email either, so i looked again and noticed there was nothing in the outgoing server user name and password, put those in and now it works again ..... how did that change, it's worked for years ......
