Hi all, I recently had great difficulty in sending out emails from Majorca to Ireland as the local ISP blocked non-client originated emails. A neighbour kindly was letting me connect my laptop to his Broadband via wireless lan.I could receive email with no problem, so I was able to keep an eye on this list, but no matter what I tried the local ISP, Telefonica, would not allowmy outgoing emails through as I was not the account holder. The ISP's hereare not as strict. The Spanish restrictions are to help prevent easy accessby spammers to outgoing ports on the internet.With Paul's help I was able to get outgoing emails working at last via Gmailand here is what we did step by step: Details for setting up GMail with telefonica.net or other difficult ISP: Firstly, Setup EMail account with Gmail.com Next on PC go to: Control panel Mail email settings..... choose "New". microsoft, pop etc check next Your name: email address:xx@xxxxxxxxx password (min 8 chars) Retype password manually configure servor or additional servor types: check next internet email check next Your name: EMail address: xx@xxxxxxxxx account type: pop3 Incoming EMail servor: pop.gmail.com Outgoing email servor: smtp.gmail.com remember password check Require log on using secure password authentication (SPA): unchecked Test account settings More settings... check General ctrl tab Outgoing servor tab Outgoing servor requires authentication check In list choose" Log on using:" 2 of 4 username: xx@xxxxxxxxx password: Remember password check Require secure password authentication (SPA): unchecked ctrl tab Connection tab connect using my local area network (lan): check 1 of 3 connect via modem when Outlook is off line: unchecked ctrl tab Advanced tab Incoming servor (pop3): 995 Use defaults: unchecked This servor requires encrypted connection: ssl check Outgoing servor (smtp): 465 Use the following type of encrypted connection: ssl (2 of 4) Servor timeouts Leave copy of messages on servor (optional) ok check Job done Alternative pop port number: 993 Alternative smtp port number: 587 By Aedan O'Meara.
