My ISP (WOW!) has just changed mailing securities and now I have to use a
password on the smtp. I cannot get the entry to take when trying to send. I
am using SM 2.39. I have gone through a number of trials. Their requirement
is that I use no connection Security, Port 587, and Password. I have set the
smtp to these conditions, but the password will not enter. I have cleared the
password file of these and then tried the entry again. It did not take, but
the password was now in the password file. For some reason, it appears that
the password file cannot communicate with the smtp. What am I missing here?
The mail sending was working fine until WOW changed their requirements. Wow,
of course, wants me to change to Windows Mail and IE. SM security is exactly
the reason that I avoided MS Products.

See if updating to SM 2.41 from here
(https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-release-windows32/).
I know many ISPs killed certain negotiation if it was encrypted but it
may or may not be the same in your case. Still, it's worth a shot to
try and report back if it helped.
I updated to 2.41,but it did not help. Same problem of not accepting
the password.
As an aside, I did install windows mail and had the same problem of not
accepting the password. I did get a more complete error with it tho.
