Intermittent problem sending emails. I have laptop with Windows 8.1 and Office 365. Outlook sent emails no problem until yesterday (May 28th). Suddenly doesn't work. Have contacted ISP and they don't get it either, but today rebooted SuperHub. After that a single email was sent, but subsequent sends have failed. Error message is:
Task 'xxxxxx@virginmedia.com - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

Are you using Port 465 for outgoing mail?
