Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Apple Mac OS X - Alternate Port - Setup Guide

Important Points

• First you need to make sure the email address(es) you will be sending from have been authorised for your account in our Control Panel .

• 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.

• These instructions are only for Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Apple Mac OS X - for other email programs please see How To Setup AuthSMTP or contact us.

• 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

• Load Microsoft Outlook 2011 on your Apple Mac computer

• Go to 'Tools' menu

• Click on the 'Accounts...' option

Step Two

• Select the account you wish to setup with AuthSMTP from the left hand pane of the Accounts window

Step Three

• Change the 'Outgoing Server' to the SMTP server we supplied in your signup email, typically 'mail.authsmtp.com'

• Select the 'Override default port'

• Change the port to '2525' (or 23, 26)

• Click the 'More Options...' button

Step Four

• Click on 'Authentication' and select 'User Name and Password'

• Enter the AuthSMTP Username and Password that has been emailed to you

• Do not modify the 'Unqualified domain' section

• Click OK

Step Five

• You have now setup the AuthSMTP outgoing mail server

• Close the window

Step Eight

• You should now be back to the main Outlook 2011 screen

• Close Outlook 2011 and then reload

• Check you are online then test to ensure you can send mail correctly

• All done!
