[MikeBernard]

Was working fine until yesterday but now getting the following error message when I try to send an email from Outlook using my virginmedia.com account 
Task 'Bernard - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC1A) : 'Your server does not support the connection encryption type you have specified. Try changing the encryption method. Contact your mail server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for additional assistance.'

Hello Vikki

Thanks for the update. Please can you clarify why you think my mailbox is locked as I am still receiving emails on this account, I just cant send them from Outlook?

Thanks,  Mike

Hi MikeBernard,

We would suggest those steps in the first instance as its a 3rd party client you are having an issue with.

Please let us know if that resolves the issue.

If it doesn't, could you please then confirm if you send emails via our web mail?

Please pop back to us when you can.

Hi

I can send mails from web mail suggesting that the account is not locked.

Hello Beth

It's been working fine for years with the current settings but stopped working on Saturday. Did VM changing the settings because of the issues they've been having with email? PS it's just the virginmedia.com account that has stopped working the ntlworld.com account is still working fine.

Thanks,  Mike

Hi Mike,

As you are able to sign in via our webmail without issues, it does indicate a possible issue with the client itself. We have not made any changes to the settings on this end.

I'd also recommend changing the password if this has not been done since the issues began. Again I appreciate that you are able to sign in so there won't be an issue with the password, but this can help refresh the service.

Hello Forum Team

Other people in this forum have reported this issue and that it is now working. I've checked this morning and confirm mine is now working again without making any changes. This suggests that server end issues created Friday night have now been corrected.

Regards,  Mike
