I know that Outlook can be used to check AOL mail using IMAP.
I am having some difficulty doing this with a third party ISP, changing the SMTP settings to that third party ISP. E-mails are coming in OK but failing to go out. I do know that the ISP allows outgoing mail from other ISP's. I have tried changing the port number and authentification as suggested in AOL guidelines but this strikes me as wrong since in this scenarion the SMTP settings are normally changed to that of the outgoing ISP. Can anyone tell me if this is actually possible and what settings to use. THANK YOU, Robbie |

Have you asked the ISP for assistance with this? You are paying them for
service after all. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.

Typically, it is just a matter of changing outbound SMTP server name to the
correct name. Then almost certainly checking that the SMTP server requires authentication and adding your username and password. "Robbie" wrote in message ...
