Hi All:

I'm having a problem with my business email client, Incredimail. I can receive mail, but every email I send ends up in the outbox, and when I try to send it again I get a message that my outgoing email server, mail.pygmypress.com, does not respond, and that I should try again later. Then I get a message that Firefox could not reach my outgoing server because of a problem with Chrome registration! My ISP server is att.net. I wonder if I have entered the server information correctly.

Can anyone help?

AT&T by default blocks outgoing SMTP connections (port 25). This is to help cut down on spambots on the network.

I recall you mentioning hostmonster before... in their case, they also offer secured (SSL) SMTP on port 465 - which would not be blocked.

Since I haven't used Incredimail and can't find a decent guide, I sadly cannot give you a series of step by step instructions.

Hope this was somewhat helpful. :/

What firewall are you using Catty? Sounds to me as though its set against you treats your application as a threat

I have noticed since Chrome has been installed plus COMODO (Firewall)the Exceptions List on the Windows firewall has been Populated .Previously it was empty when I Had MacAfee Firewall

The idea behind this list is "if its ticked its good to talk to the server"
But untick an Item such as "File and Printer sharing" or "Remote Desktop" It will stop that working with an error message (Which will not refer to the Firewall blocking it here)
And the Good thing is you can add to the list such as your email (You want an outgoing port# and the "In port" address# of the Incredimail server

This is off a Malaysian site posted recently
Similar issue to yours, with Chrome & Incredimail
They posted this workaround with clear instructions and Big Pictures.

Worth a try before we look elsewhere
and There are 1000's of posts on this Issue and Port Numbers galore (on Google)

By golly, that did the trick. What would we do without you? Everything you said went over my head, but the Malaysian data absolutely worked.

Thank you, Bedstor dear!

Glad to help Catty

Have to admit it I too was confused at the Problem .Whats good for somebody else may not be the answer for you Network setups do vary from computers to computers on connections setups,Firewalls (also other security software can affect matters)
