Update on above post:
I think that the problem could be due to cron failing on Incoming Email pickup.
Execute scheduled task: Incoming email pickup (tool_messageinbound\task\pickup_task)

Although the log is telling me the authentication has failed, I can´t see why this would be. There is nothing obviously wrong in the incoming mail server settings (have checked against our hosting email settings, tried with/without ssl, checked incoming/outgoing mail is allowed). I am getting the same error on our production site and on a clean install on a testing server. Could anyone help me identify the issue? Thanks.
