Mail account - can recieve but not send emails.

Hi,
I've been trying to set up a new email account using apple mail Version 2.1.3 (753.1) using mac osx version 10.4.11. My out going mail server is Sky. However,it is not a sky email address and i'm having real problems getting it to work. The account has been set up and i can recieve email but not send email. When i try to send an email i get the following message.

The server response was: 5.5.1 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 m1sm234882ugc.9

or

The SMTP server “smtp.tools.sky.com” rejected the password for user “Blah blah”

Please re-enter your password, or cancel.

I did this and clicked on ok but that box just reappears. I know that the password is correct.

Can you please advise asap, i'm getting fed up now!
 
Hi Sarah,

What is the outgoing mail port? If it's 25, could you change it to 587 and see if you get a better success?
