Your current settings stated above for the Outgoing Server (SMTP) are:

outgoing server: mail.riseup.net port: 465 Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: normal password User name: username or [email protected] (don't know)

On the one hand, riseup gives these settings:

outgoing server: smtp.riseup.net port: 465 Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: normal password User name: username or [email protected] (don't know)

but they also suggest these settings:

outgoing server: mail.riseup.net port: 465 (or 587) Security: SSL/TLS (or STARTTLS) Authentication: normal password User name: username (part of your address before @)

So, I'm not sure if it's the server name, security/port or user name that you have to change to make it work.
