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
- Go to the 'Tools' Menu and click 'Mail and Chat Accounts...'
Step Two
- Choose the email account you wish to use with the AuthSMTP service
Step Three
- In the 'Outgoing SMTP Server' section in the bottom half of the window
change the 'Server' to the one in the confirmation email we sent to you
- Change 'Authentication' to 'AUTH CRAM-MD5'
- Enter the AuthSMTP username and password that was given to you in the
confirmation email
Step Four
- You should now be back to the main Opera 9.x screen
- Close Opera and then reload
- Check you are online then test to ensure you can send mail correctly
