Do I need to choose "Use Custom port" and enter 587? What >about "Use SSL" and "Authentication"? I don't really know. I think if I had that problem, I would at least try setting it to 587 alone, to see if that worked. As for SSL and Authentication, I think that's something your provider has to tell you. But I know that at times I have just tried different combinations for people, until I found one that worked. If their servers require authentication, their tech support people should be able to tell you so. Do they have a web site that shows how to configure email clients? Daly ----------------------
