Checking E-mails using Outlook 2003 (1 Viewer)

[kow_dude]

Hey everyone,

Does anyone check their Usyd email using Microsoft Outlook? I followed the steps as laid out at:


http://itassist.usyd.edu.au/student/support/setup/email/outlook.shtml


But after clicking on "Test Account Settings", the "Send test e-mail message" task fails. Any ideas?


Thanks

I run it through Outlook 2003 using the settings provided on the website. I have no problems receiving, but it doesn't let me send anything to any domain except usyd.edu.au.

Just forward it to an external account, like yahoo. Then set up outlook for yahoo. Too easy.

Change the setting required for outgoing mail to that of your internet service provider (eg, use smtp.dodo.net.au rather than smtp.usyd.edu.au).

The instructions could be make the above clear, but I guess that they just think that everyone will know to alter the settings should they not be using the university's own ISP (I made the same mistake myself sometime ago ).

Use Outlook Express, I just mine up with my Usyd email address and everything works.

I think its your port settings.

Most isps block port 25 for outgoing e-mail, you need to change it to something like 587.

Email Accounts - > Properties -> Change -> More Settings -> Advanced -> Outgoing e-mail port.

Nope, that doesnt work either
