Anthony
You are a star. I was getting the message ‘None of the authentication methods supported by this client are supported by your server’ after upgrading to Outlook 2007 and your solution worked for me. Now I look good in front of my boss, and not the numpty that I actually am. Hurrah for the internet, and people like you!
Thank you.

When I started using Outlook 2007 I got this message. Talking to a technician of the service provider before reading the tips above did not help. When I marked “Log on to incoming mail” it solved the problem. To get to that tick box I had to mark “My login server (SMTP) requires authentication”. I use different servers because I want to retain my old e-mail address. So I use the old pop server and logon username and password with the SMTP server of my new ISP. Thanks a lot.

Upon further research I believe I figured out why the error was occurring on my vded server.

My ISP blocks port 25, and refuses to unblock it for any reason. They cite security concerns. When I setup my vded I enabled an alternate SMTP port to allow me to relay through my vded email accounts.

When I setup the port, I didn’t require SMTP authentication in the port configuration file. This resulted in the Outlook 2007 error when Outlook was configured to authenticate but the SMTP port was not.

I updated the port configuration file to require authentication, and Outlook no longer generates the error when I configure it to authenticate.

The bottom line: You will see this error when you are attempting to force Outlook 2007 to authenticate on the SMTP port when the SMTP port does not require authentication.

I was going nuts with this. My virtual server email accounts were giving me this error, but my BrainiacDomains.com email accounts were working just fine. I unchecked the Authentication box for my vded based accounts and left it checked for my BrainiacDomains.com account. The world makes sense now. Thanks.

I have been running Outlook 2007 and Vista very successfully for several months. Yesterday after a Vista update my Outlook 2007 problems started. at first I couldn’t open outlook at all — I recreated my profile. Finally I could receive mail but couldn’t send it. So I disabled the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” option on the Outgoing Server tab in Outlook.

I am wondering if this is a big in Vista and Outlook 2007 and Pop??
thanks for the fix.
