Thanks to a comment from Ian Morris that credentials were exchanged in base64 encoding, I investigated what data was actually passed. I have recently changed my email password, and to add some special characters, I added \\ to the end of the password string, forgetting that in certain situations, \ was an escape character. Consequently, the password as received was one \ light so was rejected. Password changed, and test successful. Moral: be careful how you use double \ Thanks to all, Graeme
