How to specify mail server port number? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I am using a mail server with non-standard port numbers. Is there a way to specify which ports it should be contacting the mail server with?

Port number
After the name of server add : and then the port number. I.e. pop.gmail.com:993

Help needed on Exchnage SP2+Push mail+ non default push port

We here live in a heavily censored country (UAE) and have all default ports blocked.
I have set up exchange SP2 for push mail but it doesnot work. Reason - port 8- and port 443 are blocked (actually transparent proxied). In OWA - I am able to circumvent this by using non default port and typing the post addres in the address bar of IE.
How do I do that on my Jasjar? How do I chnage the default port to connect to my exchange?
hm just an idea: [Exchange-Server-Adress]:[Port]

SMTP and change port.

Hi ... I have a problem with the configuration of my email account.
I need to change the default SMTP port 25 with another because my ISP use another ... How can I change It?
The version of my ROM is 3.30.

Apologies if I am wrong on this one but don't you just add it to the end of the mail server address in options?
ie. if mail server is : mail.server.com and you want to use port 2525, then you put in:
mail.server.com:2525
I cant get this to work - anyone know if it would be possible to create a cooked rom with a given port hardcoded into the pocket outlook app?
Dave.
port 2525 sounds like a socketmail email service
nah, 2525 is a common mail services alternate port to get around the ISP's blocking of port 25.
My mail service will also use port 587.
Anyway adding :2525 after the mail.server.com works fine here.
serverort does work
I am using servernameortnum currently in WM6 on my hermes, so it does work.
I am using port 465, the secure SMTP port. that, or 587 (the mail submission agent port) is likely unblocked by ISPs, but you would have to make sure that the server is listening there, and you will almost certainly need to authenticate to the smtp server. Many servers will only allow authentication over a secure link, so you might need SSL enabled too.
I had trouble however with SSL and SMTP AUTH in pocket outlook. If anyone else does, this might be useful: http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20040609.135310.ba09a6e4.html
Based on that link I ended up needing to make sure my mail server started conversations on port 465 in SSL/TLS mode (rather than waiting for a STARTTLS). For anyone using Exim, that means setting "tls_on_connect_ports = 465" in your config. For people using a commercial mail server, you might just have to try lots of ports and setting permutations.
So the short version is that serverort does work, but there are other concerns as well.
note that is "colon" "p". or a dumb looking little face.

Hotmail can receive can't send email

hello there people, i was hoping someone could give me a bit of assistance.
as the title of my post says... i'm having issues with sending emails from my desire via my hotmail account, there are no issues with me getting them as this works fine and the inbox is always full. i just can't seem to send or reply, i'm sure the settings are correct but i've added them below and would really be grateful for some help
incoming:
Protocol - pop
put email address in and user name put email address in again
put in password
pop server - pop3.live.com
security type - SSL port 995
outgoing:
tick log in required
put email address in as username
put in password
smtp server - smtp.live.com
security type - TLS
server port - 587
thanks in advance for any help Dr Asqueroso
Try port 25 on the outgoing server. Other than that, my settings are identical and work okay.
GrenW thanks, that has worked.
