Outlook 2003 Older
releases of Outlook 2003 use port 465 for a secure connection, and won’t do port 587.
So
first we’ll try 465, and if something objects to that, fall back on port 2525.
Go
to Tools > Email Accounts
Select
“View or change existing e-mail accounts” and click “Next”
Select
the relevant email address and click the “Change…” button
Make
sure that the “Outgoing mail server (SMTP)” box reads “smtp.gn.apc.org” if this is your account.
Click
the “More settings…” button to the bottom right.
Click
the second tab along, “Outgoing server” and ensure “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” is ticked.
Select “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”. “Require secure password authentication” should not be ticked.
Click
the right-hand tab, “Advanced”.
For “Outgoing server (SMTP)”, remove “25” if that is what you have, and first try entering 465.
If you have a tick box with “This server requires a secure connection (SSL)”, tick it. (If you instead have a question about “encrypted” connection with a choice of “TLS”, choose that and port “587” as above.)
Click “OK” and next and “Finish”.
Cancel any messages being sent, and try sending again.
If you still get an error, you may want to try using “2525” “Outgoing server (SMTP)” without encryption (not secure).
It is suggested you upgrade to a better email program, such as Thunderbird. If you have no other option:
Start Windows 8 mail
Wave your mouse over the bottom right of the screen to get the “charm menu”
Choose “settings”, then “accounts”
Select your account
Scroll
down to the “Outgoing (SMTP) email server” and
On
earlier versions port 587 may not work correctly, so use port 465 and tick “Outgoing server requires SSL”
Tick
the “requires authentication” and “use same settings” below that boxes as well and click “Connect”.
