CONNECTING
TO EMAIL POP/SMTP PROBLEMS
Some people
may have been having trouble checking mail, such as a redundant Outlook prompt
continually asking for the password. This is due to spammer activity abusing
the system, and it has been necessary to take countermeasures .
To use your mail, you need to check the box that says "My SMTP server requires
authorization" in your mail client. Instructions are below:
To enable SMTP AUTH (SMTP Authorization): Outlook Express 1) Select 'Tools' -> 'Accounts' from the menu 2) Highlight your account 3) Click on the "Servers" tab 4) Check the box that says "My Server Requires Authentication" for the "Outgoing Mailserver" 5) Click "Settings" and ensure "Same as Incoming" is selected. Eudora: 1) Select 'Tools' -> 'Options' from the menu 2) Select "Sending Mail" 3) Check "Allow Authentication"
It is NOT necessary to perform a "POP before SMTP authorization," as was previously the case. The SMTP authorization outlined above is all that is required.
