I avoided MS Products.

Does WOW webmail work? Often web and smtp use the same p/w.
Have you tried with firewall and anti-virus turned off?
Yes, I can read and send when on the wow webmail site. I have also
turned off my firewall with no effect. I have checked my AV and and it
is clear.
One thing to check, just to be sure. Done a Malware scan with
Malwarebytes or something similar? It's possible some email malware
could have hijacked your PC.
Or, got to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\ and open hosts in Notepad
or Wordpad. On Windows 7 (or newer), If it looks *anything* other than
this:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host
name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Could be it as well.
I had a somewhat different host file as I use an app called checky. This stops
those addon installations. As such, I changed back to the backup, stored host
and set the flags to readonly and system file. Still did not accept the
password for sending an email.
