Hi Jenny: I just tried putting in the smtp server address with the port number and got an error message to the effect that there's no address associated with the host. When I set up the account on the PC, There's a prompt where you have to indicate if the server requires authentication, but it appears to be for both outgoing and incoming mail. It doesn't seem to specify that it's just for the outgoing mail server. BTW, when I use the Sprint outgoing server address, I don't have to put in port numbers either. The Sprint address is associated with the wireless card that I sometimes use on my PC.
