When sending an email, and not always either, it will attempt to send and then the email program will pop up and ask for the email account password. This is using Mozilla Mail 1.7.7, Thunderbird and also Mozilla mail 1.7.12. The only thing I have been able to find is a comment that it is likely timing out trying to contact the SMTP server. The passwords are stored and correct. I found if it looks like its going to - cancelling the send and doing it again seems to fix it. It makes no difference with the firewall on or off. And Xtras suggestion of it being antivirus is rot too, there are variously AVG, FProt and no AV at all with all these people getting this issue. Any ideas? Its only been doing it in the last few days.	pctek (84)

Check in Account settings for SMTP that Use Name and Password are not ticked and Use Secure Connection is selected to No Its not. Its is. In fact nothing has been changed, and as I said, only been doing it the last few days. And more than one person too.	pctek (84)
