Important Points
- These instructions assume your email account has already been setup and
is collecting email correctly.
- Take a note of any settings you change.
- Only change the items specified - you should not need to change either
your email address, POP3 server, POP3 username / password.
- We have instructions for both
default SMTP port and
alternate SMTP port configurations - alternate port is generally used if
your ISP blocks the normal port 25 SMTP access (as many do these days!).
Step One
- From the main screen open the 'Files' menu and then select
'Preferences...'
Step Two
- Select the 'Accounts' tab
- Drop-down the 'Account:' box and select 'SMTP'
Step Three
- Change the 'Server:' to the AuthSMTP server we supplied with your signup
email - to specify an alternate SMTP port number use:
server-name:port-number - for instance for port 2525 (the alternate port we
recommend) you would enter: mail.authsmtp.com:2525
- On the 'Authenticate' tab below you can set the 'Method:' to either
'Plain Text', 'CRAM-MD5' or 'DIGEST-MD5' ('NTLM' is not currently
compatible) - we recommend: CRAM-MD5
- Enter the AuthSMTP username and password we supplied when you signed up
- IMPORTANT: 'authsmtp.username' is an example - if your AuthSMTP
username was 'ab12345' enter it as that and *not* as 'authsmtp.ab12345'
- Click the 'OK' button and it will return you to the main Mulberry screen
Step Four
- Mulberry will not ask you for the password until you actually send a
message - so create and send one
- When you go to send it will pop up with the box below with your user ID
already entered.
- Enter your password and click the 'OK' button and the message should
send.
