CyruSoft Mulberry 4 - Alternate Port - Setup Guide

Important Points

  • First you need to make sure the email address(es) you will be sending from have been authorised for your account in our Control Panel .
  • 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!).

Step One

  • Load Mulberry 3.x
  • From the main screen open the 'Files' menu and then select'Preferences...'
Mulberry v4 - Step 1 - Go to File menu and click preferences

Step Two

  • Select the 'Accounts' tab
  • Drop-down the 'Account:' box and select 'SMTP'
Mulberry v4 - Step 2 - Go to Accounts tab, from the drop down Account menu and click SMTP

Step Three

  • Change the 'Server:' to the AuthSMTP server we supplied with your signup email - to specify an alternate SMTP port number use:server-name:port-number - for instance for port 2525 (the alternate port we recommend) you would enter: mail.authsmtp.com:2525
  • On the 'Authenticate' tab below you can set the 'Method:' to either'Plain Text', 'CRAM-MD5' or 'DIGEST-MD5' ('NTLM' is not currently compatible) - we recommend: CRAM-MD5
  • 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 'Save User ID'
  • Tick 'Save Password'
  • Click the 'OK' button and it will return you to the main Mulberry screen
Mulberry v4 - Step 3 - Change outgoing mail server using alternative SMTP port and enter AuthSMTP username

Step Four

  • Mulberry will not ask you for the password until you actually send a message - so create and send one
  • When you go to send it will pop up with the box below with your user ID already entered.
  • Enter your password and click the 'OK' button and the message should send.
  • All done!
