    Can’t send email using my settings changed SMTP to smtp.broadband.rogers.com and still won’t let me send. Everyone else here can send. It says my password is wrong. How can I send email from my account??? I can still receive from it but can’t send out. I am now on a rogers server. Help???

    Thank you SO much for listing all of these. I have looked up pop settings here many many times. It is so much faster than going to the help area at the ISP’s site and sifting through a bunch of crap to find what I’m looking for. Thanks again!

    Task ‘pop.broadband.rogers.com - Sending’ reported error (0×8004210B) : ‘The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).’

    Please tell me what the problem is. I cannot send or receive e-mail. June 23, 2008.
