OK read the articles. Don't really understand certificates - although I understand the principle. Do I need to pay for one? If not how do I generate one? Will this work with non-roaming profiles in a school with Outlook Express. Seems like a whole load of unwanted difficulty. Any chance of a step by step guide as to how to proceed? BTW - I worked in Burry Port for a short while - at the Power Station during my student years (probably closed down now!) On Tue 25 May, mike rees wrote:

I think you may be experiencing the same problem as I had when I upgraded.
Authentication no longer accepts cleartext passwords by default for email any more.
I upgraded from 6.3 to 9. I don't know when this was changed.
You can change this behaviour if you want.
This thread might explain it better
