How can I change the port for outgoing/íncoming e-mails in Outlook Exp.?

[jaffa]

I want to receive mails on port 2525 but send mails over port 25.

Is this possible to achieve (how?) or do they have to use the same port (in that case port 2525, how)?

I guess port 110 should not be touched since port 110 has nothing to do with sending/receiving (just popping) mails.

Tools > Accounts > Select the Mail Tab > Click once to highlight the account to be changed and click Properties > Click the Advanced Tab and voila!

Whether it will work or not I can't say for sure. Beyond my scope of knowledge. You may have some authentication issues to work through.

I think you're a little confused. You don't receive mail on port 25 unless you're a mail server - that is, receiving mail from another mail server and then putting it in a mailbox somewhere. Outlook Express is just a mail client program (reading mail out of a mailbox), so it doesn't have any business listening for SMTP traffic on port 25 or anywhere else. It should be receiving on port 110 (POP3) or 143 (IMAP - don't remember if OE can do this) and sending on port 25 as usual.

Sorry for that, I should have been more clear.

I try to run a mail server and my isp is blocking incoming (and outgoing) traffic on port 25. That's why I want to use port 2525 for incoming traffic and port 25 for outgoing traffic. I have my ISP's permission to use their server for outgoing traffic.

I know there are third party services like DynDNS etc. that will redirect all mails that are sent to me (port 25) to another port like port 2525. Therefore I wonder where I change the settings in my mail server so it listens for incoming mails on port 2525 instead of 25. Like I mentioned earlier, I would like to keep port 25 for outgoing mails.

I use Win 2003 Server and have installed the pop3/smtp service and the only thing that appears to be adjustable is the pop3 port (110), but that is not what I am looking for....
