CONFIGURING THE OUTGOING SERVER
TO WORK AT HOME
If you are using Comcast or SBC as your Internet Service Provider (ISP) at home you may be having problems sending email while at home.
If you are having problems, follow this procedure and you should be able to send email ANYWHERE, as long as you are connected to the Internet:
Note: You will need your login id and password for your SBC/Comcast account to do this. This is the account id you created when you set up your Internet connection. If you don't have it off-hand contact Comcast or SBC and they can provide it for you.
- Start Entourage
- Click on the Entourage menu and choose Account Settings…
- Inside the window that pops up, double click on the Wornick Email account. Mine says wornickjds (POP)
- Inside the window that pops up, change the SMTP server (found at the bottom of the window) from wornickjds.org to the SMTP server your ISP provides.
If you are using Comcast, your SMTP server is smtp.comcast.net
If you are using SBC, your smtp server is smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
- Click on the button that says Click here for advanced sending options (found directly below the text box where you entered the SMTP server)
- Inside the new window that pops up, Check the box next to SMTP server requires authentication
- Click the button that says Login using
- Enter in your Comcast or SBC login id and password.
If you are using SBC, you have to include the ENTIRE login (i.e. matt@sbcglobal.net …not just matt)
- Click the small button in the upper left hand corner of the window to close the window
- Click OK
- Close the window
- Send yourself an email to test out the new server.
