AuthSMTP - Vista Mail 6.x (Alternative 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 Vista Mail 6.x - 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 2

• Go to the 'Tools' menu and click the 'Accounts' option.

Step 3

• Click on the account you want to change and select 'Properties'

Step 4

• Enter the SMTP server as: mail.authsmtp.com

• In the Outgoing Mail section (towards the bottom) - tick 'My server requires authentication'.

• Click the 'Settings...' button

Step 5

• Click on 'Log in using...' then enter your AuthSMTP username / password - do not select the option to 'Log on using secure password authentication'.

• Click 'Ok'

Step 6

Step 7
