AuthSMTP - Vista Mail 6.x (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.
- 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!).
