What are your settings, and what is the antivirus or VPN?

windows defender is my anti-virus no VPN. I checked the numbers from the site noted and those for my account were correct.
Imap with ssl
Post pictures of your incoming and outgoing server settings, masking any personal info.
Here's the incoming and outgoing
The outgoing server should be mail.shaw.ca, and the User Name for incoming and outgoing is the part of the address before the @.
Thanks. Works now
