Hi Daly, I should have mentioned I'm getting into this thread late.
In Loepard's Mail 3.5, when I navigate to Preferences/Accounts/Charter/ 
SMTP Server/Edit Server List/Advanced, the option to use the default  
ports (25, 465, 587) is already ticked.  Do I need to choose "Use  
Custom port" and enter 587?  What about "Use SSL" and "Authentication"?
