basically i want to be able to forward my umr e-mail to outlook express, and i've tried everything IT has on their site, but i can't seem to get it to work..everytime it gets vaguely close it says it can't connect to the server, so i have no idea whats going on


help?

as i said before, i tried everything IT has up

what you posted is what i already tried

eh works for me

most sure you have the check boxs checked for a secure connection to be made

are you running a personal firewall (norton, mcaffee, ZoneAlarm, Windows, etc.,)?

well, i sent an e-mail to IT, so hopefully they'll know

Use these settings:

Incoming: minermail.umr.edu, requires SSL / Port 25
Outgoing (smtp): smtp.umr.edu, requires SSL / Port 993
Username / Password: your UMR userid / password

1.) Disable any unnecessary firewalls
2.) Try thunderbird, to see if OE is at fault (http://www.mozilla.org)
3.) Establish a vpn connection (vpn.umr.edu -- see if that helps)
4.) Bring your computer to the IT Walk-In Center -- that'll probably fix it

thanks you, that last one totally did it

had the wrong port on incoming mail : /

ok, now i have to hijack. I have Tbird set up, worked great for a couple days, rebooted my computer, now i can receive but not send email. I have gone through IT's step-by-step setup thrice now, tried changing to SSL and optional TLS, neither works. No one at my house has any idea, wondering if any of you had any suggestions before I break down and call IT.

Here's the settings I use that work for me on campus.

Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings
Description: UMR SMTP
Server Name: minermail.umr.edu
Port: 25
Security and Authentication
[X] Use name and password
User Name: joeminer@umr.edu
Use secure connection:
[ ] No [X] TLS, if available [ ] TLS [ ] SSL

I tried those exact setting and still got an error:

Sending of message failed.

The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server minermail.umr.edu (or smtp.umr.edu, as I tried earlier) failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and try again, or else contact you network administrator.

use ssl

same error
