  1. Open Tools > Account Settings.
  2. Select your Email account from the list. Click Change.
  3. Click More Settings.
  4. Check the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" box.
  5. Make sure that "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" is selected.
  6. Click the Advanced tab.
  7. Change the Outgoing Server field number from 25 to 26. (If this doesn't work, repeat these steps and change the number to 2525 or 587.)
  8. Select "SSL" from the "Use the following type of encrypted connection" pull-down menu.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Click Next until you reach the Finish button. Click Finish.
Note that the instructoins are slightly different for Outlook Express. If you do not use Outlook as your email client do a search on how to change the smtp port number for your specific email client and version.
