Thanks to all who replied.
My provider changed the name of both servers, ingoing and outgoing. I`ve
been using the same server names for over a decade, so I had no clue
there could be an issue
I`m not real good at this sort of thing, so after research what the
server names are now, what security they`re using and the proper port
for both ingoing and outgoing servers, they are now working
flawlessly.the port numbers assigned are 995, and 563 for SMTP.
