I'm at the point of giving up....

All I want to do is send an email from PAD...

First I tried an Office365 account. Soon gave up since Microsoft security makes it virtually impossible to use.

Then, I set up an account in a non-Microsoft server (cPanel) for sending emails.

I set up the email account in Outlook - works perfectly.

Tried using the EXACT SAME SETTINGS in PAD - tells me "No Such User Here".

I am using the same outgoing mail server name, same port, same SSL, same username, same password.

For the love of GOD, what am I doing wrong? As usual, the Microsoft error message is lengthy without saying much.

The Send an email action in PAD only works with mailboxes that support basic auth via SMTP. O365 mailboxes usually do not. Not sure about the mailbox you're using - never heard of that provider. But if you managed to add it to an Outlook app, why not simply use the Outlook actions in PAD? You can make PAD launch the Outlook app and then send emails via an account that is configured within the app, without needing to authenticate (because Outlook handles that).
