Emails sitting in outbox

Question

Emails sitting in outbox- message says "no password provided- go to mail account settings and enter password" however when I do this it then says server does not support password authentication!! It should not be this hard to send an email. I have checked settings a hundred times, is there a simple solution? Very frustrating! Thanks

possibly like me you don't use the pop3/x email a lot but want to send from time to time.
in "fetch', i've selected a "manual" fetch instead of at various time intervals and what's happening is sent emails go into the outbox until a "fetch" occurs, either at a time interval like my pc or when i do a manual fetch.
all sent emails go into the outbox until the fetch occurs and then, only will the mail be sent but you'll receive whatever's available into the inbox.
i find it easier to text to an email address than dink with this pop3 email.
to save downloading everything on the fetch, i check cox.mail or rr when i was in hawaii to see if i need to reply to something.
hope this helps.
