here, do this. Start up OE, get the instructions from them for the OE
settings. Come back here, and tell us what they said. Then someone can
help you from there.
OK Peter, the results are in.
In Outlook Express, advanced settings:
Outgoing Port 25
Outgoing mail server email.mcleodusa.net
X my server requires authentication
X use same settings as my incoming mail server
Incoming Mail Server POP3
(nameofaccount)@mcleodusa.net
password xxxxxxxxx
X Log on using secure pass authentication.
These settings DO NOT work and produce a "421" error.
I tried this on ports 25 and 587.
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'email.mcleodusa.net', Server:
'email.mcleodusa.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '421 Cannot connect to
SMTP server 63.254.138.23 (63.254.138.23:25), connect error 10060', Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 421, Error Number: 0x800CCC67
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'email.mcleodusa.net',
Server: 'email.mcleodusa.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
I tried this while on the phone with McLeodusa tech support.
This is being "escalated."
I'll just have wait now to find out if McLeodusa and Comcast
are at odds, or what.
Then, as you have suggested, when OE works, you are someone
can help translate the OE settings to Seamonkey.
Stand bye.
