the smtp address will be different than the one for gmail. then in checking mail and sending mail, tab to 'secure sockets when sending and choose the radio button that says 'required, alternate port'. I think port 587 is used for gmail, but I haven't seen it used for any other mail.
that doesn't mean it isn't, though. Good luck! t 08:15 AM 6/14/2013, you wrote:
You sure its not port 587? There is a check box for that in tools options, sending mail.At 03:43 AM 6/14/2013, you wrote:Hello Listers,Im having major issues with Eudora. I have three email accounts; two are gmail accounts and the third is my personal email and my internet service provider is MediaCom.The two gmail accounts both, of course, have the same type settings i.e., pop3 accounts and ironically, my mediaCom account also has the same port settings as my two gmail accounts. For example, the incoming port number is 995 and the smtp port number is 465;the other settings are all the same as the gmail accounts but yet, though the gmail accounts seem to be working correctly, when the server tries to go out to retrieve my mediaCom email, Im getting an error message that says: host not found and something about my smtp; I dont remember the entire message but Im getting the feeling because it mentions the smtp, that its not finding the portnumber and I dont know how to go in there and insert that port number. I see that the incoming port number is therefore the pop3 which is 995 but I dont see the smtp port number: 465. If anybody can help me with this, I would deeply appreciate it.Respectfully, Fina nad Dogguide Daphne <mailto:peterRubin1950@xxxxxxxxx>peterRubin1950@xxxxxxxxxTim Blindeudora list owner.
