Hi Paul, welcome to the forums. This looks like a problem that was in an older version. Are you using the latest version (2017.01)? You can update by using the "Help -> Check for Updates" menu command. Please let me know if updating doesn't fix the problem or if you're already using the latest version.

Thanks for your reply Dan, I'm not using the latest update as my update protection expired some months ago.... I'm a little confused as why this has suddenly stopped working as it was fine up until now?

Hi Paul, VueMinder was updated to use a better (much more robust) library for connecting to SMTP servers and sending email. The previous library had various issues with connecting to some servers, especially when using SSL. My guess is that something changed on the server-side which is preventing the old version of VueMinder from being able to connect. It's possible updating to the new version will fix the problem. That's where I would recommend starting.

If you update to the latest version but you're still unable to send email, please send a screenshot of your current email settings to support@vueminder.com, so I can check for any mistakes.
