I'll walk you through it for now, maybe I'll do screen shots later.

1) Tools > Accounts

2) Add > Mail...

3) Display Name: [Your Name]

4) E-mail Address: [your.address

domain.tld]

5) Incoming Mail Server: [mail.domain.tld]

6) Outgoing Mail Server: [mail.domain.tld]

7) Account Name: [your.address

domain.tld]

8) Password: [your password]

9) Click [Finish] and you're done.

And that give me (where mydomain.tld is my real domain):
"The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.mydomain.tld', Server: 'mail.mydomain.tld', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E"

Did I miss something or is it time to contact support?

try telnetting to your domain's SMTP port. Type this within a command prompt

Code:

telnet yourdomain.tld 25

And if you get a header at the top of the prompt then something is wrong in Outlook Express. If you get just a blank screen, contact support.

I get "Connecting To slotteconsulting.com...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed" ... so it's a case for support.

Is there an alternative to mail.domain.tld for Outlook Express Outgoing mail [SMPT] on port 25 for surpass servers...

My broadband ISP blocks port 25 so while I can recieve I cannnot send. I have to dialup a 56KB modem to send mail.

Just discovered that for an everyone.net, normally free web based email, that I have POP3 access to, as I'm the webmaster, that changing the port to 2525 allowed me to send mail via ADSL for the first time in a year. But their Outgoing mail [SMTP] address is different being smtp.domain.tld..

What can I use on Surpass when the ISP blocks port 25?

Got it working without changing much. changed the outgoing mail port to 26...default was 25...ISP appears to have blocked only 25....works with both my broadband ISP and my 56K dial up ISP.........fantastic.........another great days work

I think I had the same problem with port 25 blocked.
