How to use POP3/SMTP server

[Xavior]

Hello,

I am trying to get my email to work in Outlook using the address I configured in Plesk 7.6 for Windows.

I created the account:

[email protected]

What do I need to specify in Outlook for my:

- username
- incoming POP3 mail server
- outgoing SMTP server
- outgoing/incoming ports
- does it require authentification?

Also, my ISP blocks port 25 for outgoing mail, so I would like to set this up on port 26; how would I go about this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Emil

Hi, your username is your email address. The incoming POP3 is mail.domain.com (same for SMTP). Ports are standard by default 25 and 110.

You need to tick the box for authentication. You dont need to enter the username and password again as its the same.

Do you have remote access to the server? To add a second SMTP port you need to login and run the mailenable admin tool. Its in start > programs > mailenable.

Right click and select properties for connectors > smtp. There is an option for an alternative port. You will see 25 is in the first box and the second is blank, you can choose your other port here.

A solution we use to get around port 25 blocking (other than using your ISP to authenticate sending) is to configure the Submission port (port 587) on your mail server as a secondary port along with SMTP's port 25. Then have the client use that port instead of 25. I've never encountered a network that blocked it also.
