So it sounds as if Richard does need SMTP AUTH and is getting the benefit of
it on the second attempt since the first attempt does check the POP account
using the correct password. (I recall that Yahoo once worked like this.)

So if Richard goes to Tools/Accounts/this account, and clicks the long
button that says "Advanced Sending Options" just below the SMP Server
setting at the very bottom of the window, then checks the "SMTP server
requires authentication" box and leaves the radio button at "Same settings
as POP" without filling anything else in, he should now be able to send
first time without getting that error.
