IMPORTANT

Usually, the port used for the Outgoing Mail Server/SMTP Service is 25. However, there might be a situation where your ISP might be blocking the use of port 25 for SMTP service. Many ISPs block port 25 in order to minimize the amount of spam sent using their network. If you are facing issues sending mails using the default port 25, you can confirm with your ISP whether port 25 is indeed blocked by them.
To circumvent this, you can use an alternate port 587 for sending mails if port 25 is blocked. Here's how:
  • Open the Preferences window and go to Accounts
  • Select your account from the existing list of accounts and click Server Settings
  • Under the Server Port field enter the port number as 587
  • Enter your email address as your username and your password in the respective field and click Ok
