Hi. We don't use the POP features in Gemini. Our ISP (and many other now) require that the email client log into POP for the email account before logging into SMTP. This means that if you don't log into POP first, you get failure on logging into SMTP, even with correct credentials. It is a security feature to help reduce spamming.

Gemini no longer can send emails in our configurations, and I think it is because of this. Nothing at all has changed in our installation in maybe 2 years, and suddenly it can send nothing.

I get the following series of error messages in the log (in date/time sequence, although all are in same minute):

The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code was 0x80040217. The server response was not available
