DOS ain't dead

FlMail graphical email client released (Announce)

The translation to German of the error message is somewhat unclear to me.

Two things I can make out:
- you used port 25 - this can be OK but usually this is the port for NON-SSL. Port 465 should be better, or use 587 which usually works ok. But e.g. Outlook.com uses TLS on port 25.
- you may have entered your email address into the User-ID field and the server requires a different ID than the email address to authenticate at the server.

I always use my email address as a User-ID (as you can see from the examples) but you may have selected a different User-ID when registering with your email provider. Enter your email address in the General TAB and your User-ID for SMTP in the Server TAB. Gmail, Outlook etc always use the email address as a user-id but many servers allow you to select a different User-ID. You may want to check your other email program what User-ID is entered for SMTP there.
