How do I turn on SMTP Authentication? Print

In Microsoft Outlook & Outlook Express:

Start Outlook 2000 or Outlook Express. From the menu, select Tools, then Accounts. Click once on the appropriate account from the Mail tab. Select Properties. From the account properties dialog box, choose the Servers tab. Put a check in the box for "My server requires authentication". Click on the "Settings" button. In the 'Outgoing Mail Server' dialog box, make sure "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" is selected. Press "OK". Back at the "Properties", click "Apply", then "OK". Click "OK" to close out of all dialog boxes.

 

Open Eudora, pull down the Tools menu and select "Options..." to display the Options window. Select the "Getting Started" category on the left-hand side. Select the "Allow authentication" checkbox and click "OK".

 

Open Apple Mail. Click on the "Mail" menu in the top menubar. Click on Preferences, Click on Accounts. Click on the account that you want to modify. Click on Account Information. Click on the "Server Settings..." button. In the pulldown list next to "Authentication:", select "Password". Enter your username and email password (the same ones you use to retreive your POP or IMAP email). Click on OK. Close the Preferences window by clicking on the X in the upper left hand corner of the window.
