Hi,

In trying to send emails, I get the attached error messages. I first got the starttls error message so went into the edit SMTP server box in account settings and changed that to SLS/TLS and got a different error message then. In both cases I am unable to send the email. I am still receiving emails so not really sure what to do from here. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello

usually secured connection using TLS is done with port 587 with StartTLS, and port 465 without StartTLS. That's complicated but it's how it's done.
