AuthSMTP - Microsoft Outlook 2002 (Alternate Port)

Important Points

• These instructions assume your email account has already been setup and is collecting email correctly.

• Take a note of any settings you change.

• Only change the items specified - you should not need to change either your email address, POP3 server, POP3 username / password.

• These instructions are only for Microsoft Outlook 2002 - for other email programs please see How To Setup AuthSMTP or contact us.

• We have instructions for both default SMTP port and alternate SMTP port configurations - alternate port is generally used if your ISP blocks the normal port 25 SMTP access (as many do these days!).

Step One

• Load Microsoft Outlook 2002

• From the main screen open the 'Tools' menu and then select 'E-mail Accounts...'

Step Two

• Select 'View or change existing e-mail accounts'

• Click the 'Next >' button

Step Three

• Click on the email account to modify - this will cause it to become highlighted

• Click on the 'Change...' button

Step Four

• Change the 'Outgoing mail server (SMTP)' to the SMTP server we supplied with your signup email

• Click the 'More Settings...' button

Step Five

• Click the 'Outgoing Server' tab

Step Six

• Tick 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication'

• Select 'Log on using'

• Enter the AuthSMTP username and password we supplied when you signed up

• IMPORTANT: 'authsmtp.username' is an example - if your AuthSMTP username was 'ab12345' enter it as that and *not* as 'authsmtp.ab12345'

• Tick the 'Remember password' option

Step Seven

• Click on the 'Advanced. tab

• Change the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP)' port number to the alternate port (port 2525 is recommended)

• 'Ok' button

Step Eight

• Click the 'Next >' button then the 'Finish' button

Step Nine

• You should now be back to the main Outlook 2002 screen

• Close Outlook 2002 and then reload

• Check you are online then test to ensure you can send mail correctly

• All done!
