As of this morning (24 March 2016) I've been unable to send emails. I get a message that says 'Login to server smtp.virginmedia.com failed'. Then I'm prompted to retry, enter new password or cancel. I haven't changed anything since last night, when I successfully sent emails.

I've tried rebooting, switching off at the mains, etc, but still get the same result. I can receive emails OK.

Several people seem to suddenly having issues. This sounds like an issue with VirginMedia.
