Subject: RE: Tech: POP3 new e-mail problems - try IMAP
the reply came back to the effect SMTP was no longer permitted
SMTP is harder work to keep secure than POP or IMAP (you don't want to let spammers in), so less providers offer it and those that do are fussier about who gets to use it.
Can't you just find a replacement SMTP server for the discontinued one?
