Question asked on Jan 5, 2016

Help! Using Live email and receiving emails OK but have problems sending emails.

My mail server requires Authentication for the Outgoing Server and the SMPT port set to 26.

I can go into the email account properties, tick the "Requires Authentication" box under the Servers tab, and set the SMTP Port to 26 under the Advanced Tab, then Apply and OK the changes. I can then send Emails successfully.

However if I close the Live program and restart it, the "Requires Authentication" box is now "un-ticked" and the SMTP Port has reverted to Port 25. Now I can't send emails until I change the settings again.

As you can imagine, very frustrating! Why won't the Changes SAVE?

Can anyone advise please?

Thanks
