Terrible problems setting up POP mail using Seamonkey 2.29.1 and Win8.1. I have 2 Gmail and 2 Yahoo accounts ( I know, I know...)
I receive emails fine, but if I'm attempting to send , I get a popup box requesting my SMTP password. I enter what I think is my smtp password, but it gets rejected.
So now I'm unsure what my smtp password is
Is it, as I've seen somewhere here, the same password I use to get into the Plusnt members site, or is it something else, like...give me a clue?
Anyone?

If you're connected to Plusnet at the time then you don't need a username/password, simply the server name 'relay.plus.net' should suffice. If you are outside of the Plusnet network then it should be possible to send using your Plusnet Member Centre credentials (and the same server address). SSL/TLS should be disabled because we don't currently support it. This means that any communication between your machine and the Plusnet server will be unencrypted so it's probably best kept to when you're using a trusted network.

OK Bob, tried that and still got the request for a SMTP password for (me) on relay.plus.net
Hopefully a picture is attached to this reply

It was that silly username in the password prompt that messed me up, Dunno how that got there, thanks for pointing it out.
One strange thing - Despite your warning of not enabling SSL/TLS, I had to select it. There was no way to enter my gmail password until I did. On enabling it, a pop-up asked me for my gmail password as I accessed the account, which I supplied and told the program to remember it. It is still being sent in plain rather than encrypted though.
Thanks again

Bob was likely to have been talking about Plusnet's own email service which does not use encryption.

I was, meaning you're fine to use SSL to collect mail from Yahoo! and Google. If you use Plusnet's servers for sending though, then you'll need to disable SSL under the outbound SSL settings of your mail client.
