Switch to T-Bird, better ITHO of a former Eudora user.
If port 25 (outbound, to send mail) is blocked, the
SMTP server you're
contacting must support an alternative port known as
MSA @ port 587. GMail uses
different smtp port, 465. Pop3 (port 110 inbound) is
for checking mail and is
not likely blocked because it serves no purpose to do
so.
Server names have nothing to do with what the servers
do, but the ports have to
be unique for each service on the same IP address.
