    General Authentication Failed

    I have entered the correct information as provided by my Email provider, but
    am unable to send or reply to emails.

    I have ticked and unticked the various boxes in Properties, Accounts on
    Outlook, but cannot seem to solve the problem.



    The Massage I receive is below :-

    General authentication failed. None of the authentication methods supported
    by your Imap server (if any) are supported on this computer.

    Your IMAP command could not be sent to the server, due to non-network
    errors. This could, for example, include a lack of memory on your system.

    Configuration

    Account: mail.ntb.ltd.uk (1)
    User Name: Nigel@xxxxxx
    Protocol: IMAP
    Port: 143
    Secure (SSL):0
    Code: 800cccdf

    Keep Smiling!!
