 * I have been using easy WP SMTP for a couple of years and not problems. Suddenly
   the contact form in other languages (English is default) stopped working citing
   a server error. Now when i try to send a test email i receive an authentication
   error:
    SMTP Error: Could not authenticate. I checked the settings and everything
   seems ok. I fell a bit lost here..
