The last couple of days I haven't been able to send mail from Outlook through my icloud account. Still receive mail OK. I have confirmed my settings. Is anyone else having this problem?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 2.4 gHz model
Post your settings, so that we can confirm them. Obfuscate the email address (not the part after the @ sign)
Nothing is changed in the More Options or Advanced areas
They look correct, I would turn Mail off (in System Preferences>iCloud, reboot and then turn it back on.
I have a second icloud account for my son set up in Outlook with the same settings and I can send email from that address. Still nothing from my account.
The error message says "error "5.7.8 Bad Username or password (Auth Failed).." but I never changed my details.
This article I found from a similar thread (I searched Google using the error code) did the trick. Though it says it is for an earlier OS than I'm running...

Had to drop the @me.com off the username.
I just starting having the same problem with no issues in Outlook for over a year. The wierd part is that before if I didn't have the @me.com it would not send.
Now removing the @me.com as you suggested solved my outgoing email issues, thanks so much, has been driving me crazy the last week.
SMTP outbound mail stopped working
