One other place to check:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
Make sure that "Log on using Secure Password Authentication is
*not* checked.
If that was not the issue, the next most likely cause of that error message
is interference from a non-compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus
are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.
If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem,
consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to
suffering bad effects from overly intrusive antivirus programs.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
