Because all the personal stuff is cloned, this will make no difference to how your mail looks at the far end, except that it will have been sent via your own ISP's SMTP server instead of failing to get sent via your work's SMTP server. When you want to send a mail from home, just use the dropdown menu in the From: box to change your outgoing account from "Joe Doe (Work mail)" to "Joe Doe (Work mail from home)".
These last steps will stop "Work mail from home" and "Work mail" fighting each other over who is supposed to be responsible for collecting mail from via POP3. Next, change the incoming mail server from to localhost, and turn off all the options that make the account automatically check for mail. This would start out as a complete clone of your "Work mail" account, except for the SMTP settings I just mentioned above. If this is in fact a laptop you're trying to set up, and you use it both at home and at work, set up an additional mail account called something like "Work mail from home". Auth it's pretty rare for an ISP to require its own customers to authenticate on its own SMTP server.
You will probably also want to turn off Outgoing SMTP Req. Before you go doing anything hard, try simply changing the outgoing mail server on the work email account in Outlook on your home box from to or or whatever your ISP says to use for your own ISP-provided mail account. Posted by chengjih at 4:07 PM on February 24, 2008 I don't know how the Vista telnet client behaves, but you should basically get some sort of response if the connection is working, and no response if the connection is being blocked somehow. In this case, then you have some configuration issue with how your Outlook is authenticating, etc., but you probably do have a good network connection. If you do get some sort of response, then the connection is going through. If you get the blank box, or just "trying." without any other sort of response, then the connection is being blocked, either by the ISP or because your firewall isn't configured to allow that traffic.

Windows telnet sucks, and I don't remember exactly how it looks, but you may get some sort of text like "trying." and maybe the DOS box will clear the text and go blank while it tries. Type "telnet 25" (or whichever port you're testing). Then type "cmd" into the Run box.) You should have a DOS box at this point. Make sure those options are correct.įor the test with telnet mentioned above, try the following: open up a command prompt (Start. This is SSL, not TLS (which is also encrypted, but which starts at a different point in the connection). This means that you must have SSL turned on for that connection, or else the connection attempt will fail. Note that TCP/465 is, as said, SMTP over SSL. If not, then check out the documentation at the hosting service. This assumes your mail server is located in your office. Possibly, given your description of the small business setup, your firewall is not forwarding TCP/465 to your mail server. TCP/465 typically is not blocked by the ISP.

In the worst case, your IT guy will get an AskMeFi account and post a question on how to set up his firewall to allow this behavior. Really, a bunch of people on the Internet don't really know how the network is set up. The first thing I should have suggested was, talk to your IT guy on how to send email using Outlook from home. posted by Mr_Crazyhorse to Computers & Internet (17 answers total) This would seem to be an issue with my ISP, but I can login fine at work with the same settings. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). Send test e-mail message: Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. Home Settings: (Same as work settings AFAIK) As a bonus boner, my inbox at work doesn't contain all the same received emails as my inbox at home. Really trying to work this but feeling lost. I have checked and all the account settings are the exact same as far as I can tell. Incoming (POP3) is fine at the office and at home, but I can't get outgoing (SMTP) to work at all from home.
For some reason I was able to set up Outlook 2007 at my office just fine, but I can't get it to work at home.
