does anyone out there know if there is a patch or hotfix that will make OE
version 6 work with smtp ssl on an alternate port?

I wasn't aware that was a problem?

Have you go to Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced? You can
specify whatever port you need there.

Note: If you have an anti-virus program scanning outgoing mail, it's
the program that has to handle the SSL and needed port.

-- I have specifically told my antivirus program not to do any mail
scanning. I also tested OE 6 with ssl on port 25 and that works fine. when
i go to advanced settings and change the smtp port to587 and use ssl then it
doesn t work. all other clients work with those settings, i.e. thunderbird,
mac clients . Outlook 2003 works only after i service pack it. so i get the
feeling OE 6 has the same problem

What error message are you getting?

Have you also selected My Server requires Authentication on the Servers
tab? Use of port 587 normally requires that.

You may want to record an smtp.log which will show more details about
outgoing mail.

To create an SMTP.log In OE5+, go to Tools, Options, Maintenance,
Troubleshooting, Mail
You may need to close OE after doing the send for the log to get written
to disk.
The log will be in the Store Folder which is listed in Tools, Options,
Maintenance, Store Folder.

Need to also make sure that the mail host actually uses port 587.

-- thank you for your help i will tryt o check the log.
I do have set My server requires authentication option correctly.
I am also sure that port 587 is set up on the host server because other
clients like thunderbird or outlook 2003 work with these same settigs.
