Dear all,
I would like to discuss a problem which I have encountered. When
I am configuring an email client, it gives me password authentication
failure. This may be because pop3 and smtp ports are blocked by proxy
server. Ports which I am using for hotmail are
1. pop3: 995
2. smtp: 25 or 587
Can anyone suggest me some another ports which are not blocked by proxy
server and I can use email client. Please guide.
With Regards
