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.

I can send mail out via smtp.q.com, but Mac Mail times out on port 587 when it tries to download mail. Are you using POP or IMAP protocol? The standard port for receiving mail on IMAP is 993, and SMTP sends mail on port 465 or 587. Also check with Qwest about SSL/TLS and secure authorization settings for receiving mail. I think the POP ports are 25 for SMTP 110 for receiving but it's been a long time since I've used POP, and again you will need to check the SSL/TLS and secure authorization settings with Qwest. A Google search should provide the answers, or you can always roll the dice with customer service.
