First - sorry if the post is messy, but I don't see a Preview option today

PRELUDE: When I create a email to send to Joe@hotmail.com, on clicking SEND, a popup wants a password for a different account:

EXAMPLE: (emails are faked here for privacy)

Assume I have the following email accounts:

  1. john@fakes.xy
  2. jane@morefakes.vc
  3. fred@deftly.xc

I compose a email to john@fakes.xy. I click SEND, and there is a popup stating:

Status: Sending message... Progress {progress bar}

and second popup with :

Enter your password for jane@morefakes.vc on mail.{IP name}.com

and a third popup with:

Login to server mail.{ip-name} with username jane@morefakes.vc failed

I have attached a screen cap (redacted) as seen in actual.

SUMMARY:

  • When addressing email to Joe, upon SEND, the errors show password to use is listing a different account.

I ran Troubleshooting Mode with no errors, except, same thing. Wants password from a different email account.

Thanks for reading this, ~r
