Vista - Windows Security Pop up while sending email

I manually configured the email provided by my web host using Windows Mail.
It was working properly until recently this week, it cannot send any emails
anymore.
I DID NOT CHANGE anything in the configuration. Everytime I send emails, it
keeps on prompting me Windows Security asking for the Username & Password.

I typed my username & password correctly BUT it keeps on prompting me the
same pop up. The username & password I entered are all correct. Sometimes it
gives me this error message:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account: 'Suruga
Admin', Server: 'srv6.890m.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes,
Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: 000webhost.com',
Account: 'Christopher P. Lee', Server: 'srv6.890m.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Here's a screenshot of my problem:

I already ask for customer support of my web host, but they checked the
email and it's working properly. I asked for another customer support in HP &
they told me that I need to re-create the email accounts which I did, still
it's not working.

Posting here is the last help I can think of, hope anyone can help me
out....Thanks.

no CAPITAL LETTERS. Some insist that you follow it with the part of
your email address that starts with @, and some insist that you don't.
Many insist that you use CAPITAL and lowercase letters in the right places
in your password. Many give error messages that are unclear on which of
these problems have occured, if any of them, if there's some problem with
your username of password.

So, it means that for the Email username instead of + i'll try the @?
Does this also mean that I have to do trial and error on using Init Caps
on my username and password?

Still I don't get it....How will I solve this problem?

I haven't seen any valid usernames that contain a +. Your username
should work if you enter all of it in lowercase, but your password
needs to be entered however it was set up as to which letters are
CAPITAL and which are lowercase.

Don't forget numbers. If you need help generating a password, look at the
Vista gadgets online. There is a password generator. Makes passwords in
symbols, letters, and numbers. No more guessing and it will be encrypted to
164 bit.

The error messages you included are for a different problem
than the security popup issue. So, you may have two separate problems.
That mail server belongs to a webhosting company. In my experience,
webhosts seldom support port 465. Are you sure about that port?
Unfortunately, port 25 will probably not work either, since your ISP
will block it. Why not use the SMTP server belonging to your ISP?

Yes, I think I have two problems but my main problem is
the security popup issue. The error message only appears when
I click CANCEL on the security popup but when I enter my Username &
Password then click OK, it will keep prompting me the popup with no
error message.

I used 465 for SSL because the outgoing server needs authentication.
I tried port 25 but it gives me an error message. But for port 465, it was
working properly before...I can send and receive emails with NO
security popup.

Here's the Manual Setting:
Mail Server Username: chris.lee+suruga-it.com
Incoming Mail Server: mail.suruga-it.com
Incoming Mail Server: (SSL) srv6.890m.com
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.suruga-it.com (server requires authentication)
port 25
Outgoing Mail Server: (SSL) srv6.890m.com (server requires authentication)
port 465
Supported Incoming Mail Protocols: POP3, POP3S (SSL/TLS), IMAP, IMAPS
(SSL/TLS)
Supported Outgoing Mail Protocols: SMTP, SMTPS (SSL/TLS)

I carefully entered my username and password, I've checked and
they're all correct inputs. My password is alphanumeric in lowercase.
I already changed it and tried using other passwords but still it won't
stop prompting me the security popup.

I'm not sure I've ever seen any working email addresses that included
a + character.

It's unusual but permitted according to the standards:
