Difficulty in connecting Office Outlook (2003) to mail server

I have two computers at home, a desktop operating Windows XP linked to the router via an ethernet cable and a laptop operating Vista, linked through WiFi, two hotmail accounts, one .com and the other .co.uk. The
desktop uses Office Outlook 2003), the laptop Windows Live Mail. On the same day about 3 weeks ago both computers failed to 'sign in' to the mail accounts. There was no new software uploaded at the time on either. There is no problem with internet access and
I can access both e-mail accounts via the browsers from both machines, so the usernames and passwords are correct. I have email contact, but using Office Outlook and Live Mail are a lot more convenient than 'Outlook.com' in the browser.
I have tried powering down the router and after a while (8 hours!) powering it up again - no change. I have contacted the broadband provider and they told me what outgoing mail server to specify and what the port
number should be, but I can't find anywhere to enter these. When I look for the connections I get taken to the Outlook.com page but that is no help, there is no obvious place for the connections to be specified. What do I do next?
In Office Outlook the tech person advised entering the following.
Outgoing mail server: SMTP.talktalk.net, port 587, Authentication - yes
When I go to 'Outlook Connector', then 'settings', then 'Mail Options', the computer takes me to https://dub125.mail.live.com/mail/options.aspx
and there seems to be no place to enter the name of the server. I can't find any other place for 'settings' in Office Outlook.
In Windows Live Mail I can find the mail accounts and it tells me that they are on an HTTP server with the URL: http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspx
I hesitate to replace this with the mail server given above, because I am not really sure what I am doing.

Hi,
From your description, OWA works well, the issue should be related to Outlook side. Actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Microsoft Office which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. Since Outlook 2003 is old
Outlook version, we have not supported for it. It is recommended to upgrade to a later version of Outlook. Your understanding will be appreciated.

Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. Repetitive request for Username and Password.

Shortly after opening Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 I will be asked for Username and Password repeatedly. How can I stop this from happening?

Hi,
To understand more about the issue, I’d like to confirm the following information:
1. Does the issue still occur if you change another client machine？
2. Is there any error by testing RPC over HTTPS connectivity through ExRCA?

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server.
It used to work perfectly, and then I lost connection and was never able to establish one. I re-istalled my e-mail account several times, no success.

I am sure all of you got your email issues sorted out by now but i was having trouble settings up exchange email on my Iphone 5S, and the problem i found was to go to settings, icloud, then log into icloud with your apple id first (before setting up the exchange email). Once i logged into my icloud account on my Phone 5S, the exchange server email starting working and synching right away.
to confirm this worked, i even deleted my email account and deleted my Icloud accounts both from my iphone was able to simulated the same exact problem (exchange server would not sync with my Iphone 5S) until i logged back into my Icloud account on my 5S.
Again once i logged into Icloud, the exchange server issues went completely away.
Just wanted to post this so anyone else having the issue could see.

Outlook Connector Without Mail Server

Installed Java Connector (v 7.2.310.1) for MS Outlook 2002 with SP3.
I have different usernames and passwords for the mail server and the calendar server. Used fake server name for the mail server in the deployment program, and kept getting the 'Unable to connect to the new server' error when installing on the end user computer.
Is it possible to use the connector just to connect to the sun calendar server and not configure the other servers?

Is it possible to use the connector just to connect to the sun calendar server and not configure the other servers?it's not possible to use the Outlook connector without any of the following components. Missing any of the following will result in a large number of warning/errors (and potentially crashes of outlook):
-> Sun Calendar Server (calendar data)
-> IMAP server (email data)
-> UWC instance (addressbook data)
You could probably use a non-Sun email server but this would obviously not be a supported configuration and the username/password would have to be the same as the other three servers.

"Unable to establish a connection between WebEx and the mail server."

Hi,
I installed Cisco WebEx and integrated with our Microsoft exchange server. It showed server "UP". everything's came up and working fine after that and sudenlly i found this message "Unable to establish a connection with the mail server. Please recheck settings."
I went into the Mail Server setup to edit settings and now, it shows Server Down. Do I need to do something on the MS Exchange 2010 or from webex server ??
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Every 180 seconds, CWMS verifies the connection to the SMTP server by establishing a connection on TCP port 25 (SMTP) and then sending the EHLO command followed by the QUIT command. This check is also performed once when logging into the admin web page or when browsing to System -> Servers (where the status of the mail server is displayed).
If this sequence does not complete successfully, the warning “Unable to establish a connection with the mail server. Please recheck settings.” will show in a banner at the top of the CWMS admin pages.
You can verify the connection to the SMTP server manually by using “telnet 25”.
If you have access to the CWMS unix shell be aware that CWMS does not come with the telnet command installed.
As an alternative, you can use this 3-lines script:
exec 3<>/dev/tcp/x.x.x.x/25
echo -e "EHLO\r\nQUIT\r\n " >&3
cat <&3
Replace x.x.x.x by the ip address or hostname of the SMTP server and save the script in a file, f.e.:
/* script saved in a file named ehlo */
[root@dchriste-cwms-adm1 ~]# cat ./ehlo
exec 3<>/dev/tcp/10.48.54.79/25
echo -e "EHLO\r\nQUIT\r\n " >&3
cat <&3
Then, execute it:
[root@dchriste-cwms-adm1 ~]# sh ./ehlo
The output should be similar to this:
220 *******************************************************************************************************************
250-confukdc.confuk.com Hello [10.48.52.110]
250-TURN
250-SIZE
250-ETRN
250-PIPELINING
250-DSN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8bitmime

250-AUTH=LOGIN
250-X-LINK2STATE
250-XEXCH50
250 OK221 2.0.0 confukdc.confuk.com Service closing transmission channel
Also, you can use this tcpdump command to see the conversation (replace x.x.x.x by the SMTP server’s IP address or hostname):
tcpdump -vXs 0 host x.x.x.x and tcp port 25
If you have HA, it is not certain which admin VM talks to the smtp server, so best to check both.
If you don't have access to the CWMS unix shell, best to span the switch ports and run packet capture.

Outlook 2007 - Outgoing mail server from a 3rd party

I tried to set up the outgoing mail server for my Outlook 2007 with a 3rd party mail server. e.g. mail.xxxx.com, and I could not send the e-mail at all. If I set up the outgoing mail server as outgoing.verizon.net, I can send the email to everyone else but not to this 3rd party mail server mail.xxxx.com. I received the undeliverable message from Verizon that the mail was rejected due to not being able to log on to this 3r party mail server. I am working for this company from home and it requires me to set up this for my outgoing mail server. Does anyone know how to fix this, including specifying what needs to be done at the 3rd party mail server to change to accept emails sent from outgoing.verizon.net? Thank you in advance. Andy

Port 25 is the standard for SMTP, although some now use a submission port, 587. I know port 25 off network is blocked for residential users, I don't know if 587 is blocked off network because I have never tried it. I suspect it is. Verizon is by no means the only ISP to do this.
Business accounts do not have blocked ports as far as I know, so if you have a business account, you are free to communicate using port 25 anywhere.
Verizon has recently gone to non-standard port assignments for SMTP and POP servers. see

Connect to my 10.6 mail server from an android tablet

I have an Samsumg Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (Android 4.0.1) tablet and I need to set up my email for my business on it. I have it set up fine on my iPhone and iPad and desktop (Mac and Windows both), but when I try to set it up on my Android tablet it either says the username or password is incorrect (I am positive it is not) or it cannot contact the server. I've about pulled my hair out trying to figure out which setting is messing things up, but on the tablet the choices are few, so I'm about at a loss. The only thing I can think of is that there is no option on the Android to use MD5 challenge/response for authentication. If that were it, why would it say "Incorrect username or password"?
I know this isn't an Android forum, but it IS an Apple email server. Any peculiarities I might be overlooking might be the problem, so that is why I ask here.

There is nothing unique, special or weird going on here, there is only the usual slog of figuring out what an individual mail client requires and offers, and what the mail server provides and can offer, and aligning the two within your local expectations and needs.
OS X Server uses standard Unix mail server tools. Postfix and Dovecot. And again, there is nothing special, weird, or unique here.
Check your mail server logs for details around the connection failure. Assuming you see the connection error arriving, of course, and that's a clue in itself. You'll want and need to look at both the IMAP or POP logs, and the SMTP logs.
The usual triggers are the firewall settings, the particular required ports for your mail server configuration, whether SSL is used or not, and possibly the encoding of the credentials.
Check with the Android client settings, with the Android documentation, and possibly then with an Android forum around what your particular client requires, when connecting with Postfix and Dovecot tools. (These are standard Unix tools, so I'd expect there are Android-specific discussions around the network. Here's one discussion, though the trigger for what that Android user encountered is probably a firewall block against outbound TCP port 25 connections from random boxes — boxes that are not known mail servers — that is increasingly implemented around the 'net.)
And FWIW, OS X Server 10.6 has a layer of management tools atop Postfix with Server Admin key among these, and I'd manage via those first and not via the direct postfix commands. But the lower-level postfix commands do work on OS X Server, if you're looking around. In other words, read-only, don't use the lower-level Postfix tools to make changes, unless Server Admin et al don't allow you access to the setting.

Unable to import Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 mail

This is my first Mac. I opened Entourage and tried to import my old email archive.pst from the old PC.
However, Entourage gave a few choices of importing from another program, including Outlook Express 5. However my old email is on Express 3 and I am unable to click on archive.pst. I am unable to proceed further.
How do I import email, addresses and contacts from Express 3? Thanks

All of a sudden, my Mac won't connect to my smtp outgoing mail server...

It looks for a connection, but never connects. No issues until this week, it's been working fine for 14 months.
Settings verifed with the ISP (Cox) but beyond that they were of no help. Mail sits in Outbox and won't send.
Anyone had this issue and how did you fix it?
Thanks.

I would troubleshoot by disabling firewall trying other devices like smart phones or other computers to see if they can
then I would look in the routers settings and verify using the webmail option that the password was not changed

Strange Exchange name when connecting with Outlook 2013 to Exchange server 2013 SP1

I've setup a test environment with Windows Server standard 2012 R2 and Exchange Server 2013 SP1...
In- and outbound SMTP works fine, as well as connecting with OWA and Mac Outlook client...
Oddly though when setting up an Outlook 2013 connection....it recognizes the email address correctly, but later on can't connect and shows a dialog to enter the server and email account manually....though the profiled fields show something like:
Exchange Server: [email protected]
Mailbox: =SMTP:[email protected]
When I fill in the right fields....it won't connect and falls back to the values above...
Something wrong in the Exchange setup?

Hmm...found aguide here:
http://enterpriseit.co/microsoft-exchange/2013/ssl-certificate-request/
Though it doesn't mention anything that with the self-signed certs it won't allow Outlook 2013 to connect...
So from my point of view Outlook 2013 should be able to connect anyway...as during the connect process you can install the self-signed cert.....so must be something else then...

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
