POP/IMAP/SMTP ports need to be set to whatever port the mail server is expecting. Unlikely one would ever choose to use a port used for other standard protocols (i.e. 123). Typically standard mail ports are: POP: 110 (duh) POP SSL: 995 IMAP: 143 IMAP SSL: 993 SMTP: 25 SMTP SSL: 465 It is pretty common practice for most SMTP mail servers to set up alternate ports (besides 25) to allow users to circumvent the blocking of port 25 by many U.S. ISP's. -- Best Regards, Kevin Using The Bat! v2.12.00 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1
