When I try to send a message, receive "An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: +OK InterMail POP3 server ready.."
I was fine receiving and sending e-mails this morning and then all of a sudden I receive this error message preventing me sending messages this afternoon "An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: +OK InterMail POP3 server ready.."

Today, my ability to send e-mails is all of sudden working again - without me changing anything. Perplexed but pleased.

I hope I got it all because when I copied it, I was given the choice to paste it, which created a list that was too long to submit, so I have edited out some of the white spaces. Thank you, Mike. mike.lennard876@gmail.com
'Incorrect greeting' means the authentication is incorrect for the account. You currently have authentication = none for both gmail accounts' outgoing servers. Tools/Account Settings, Outgoing Server (SMTP) at the bottom of the left pane, Edit the smtp servers for the gmail accounts. Change the authentication for the POP account to 'normal password' and OAuth2 for the IMAP account.
