Set up a new SMTP account by going to Edit/Mail&Newsgroup Account
Settings/Outgoing Server (SMTP)/Add
Call it "Alias" and set it as the above, ie:
Description: Alias
Server Name: outgoing.verizon.net
Port: 587
User Name: Joe.example (note: not joe.exam...@verizon.net)
Secure Authentication: No
Connection Security: None
Now set up a new account using Edit/Mail&Newsgroup Account Settings/Add
Account
Call the account Alias and fill in what you want (name & e-mail address
- must be a valid e-mail address) and go down to the 'Outgoing server'
box and select Alias.
This should work with Verizon FIOS.
I forgot the MOST important thing. In the new Outgoing Server, 'Alias',
the User name MUST be your friends FIOS user name - NOT YOUR name.
OK, tried this, but the moment I clear the security/authentication
checkbox, SM also clears the username. When I check the box again, the
field remains blank (it really did forget the username).
OK, got it to work. Used one of the kids' accounts and his PW.
Thanks much.
I glad you got something working but you shouldn't have to use Verizon's
email servers at all. My daughter comes here periodically and uses her
laptop to connect to her email server (pop.att.yahoo.com and
smtp.att.yahoo.com) and has no problem downloading and sending email
from the yahoo server. You ought to be able to set up SM to access your
hughesnet servers the same way so you don't have to fuss with your
host's servers at all.
One thing that messed me up when I first started setting up my POP and
SMTP servers was that I when tried to send an email, I was using the
wrong "From:" in the email message. On the far right side of the
"From:", click on the down arrow and make sure you are using correct one
for the email server you have selected.
