Hello, folks. Has anybody had experience with getting Mac's Mail
client to interface with "mail.q.com <http://mail.q.com>"? I can send
mail out via
smtp.q.com <http://smtp.q.com>, but Mac Mail times out on "port 587"
when it tries to
download mail.
We are using the Actiontec Q1000 modem/router with Qwest VDSL2
service. Had no problems in the past sending or receiving mail via Cox
cable service -- there also using a separate Linksys router and Moto
modem.
P.S., Just trying to give Qwest a fair shake, that's all!
G'day
My Mail uses port 995, which I believe is the usual port.

Actually, the port most mail servers user to send mail to the client is
110. That is Pop3. You can set the mail to be sent on any port you
want. That is not always wise, as is the case here. What needs to be
done is set the mail program to listen for mail on port 587. There
should be a way to do this. There is with every mail program I have
used. Unfortunately, I have never used mail. Lo siento, Dennis
