After installing Windows VISTA for Business and the latest Office 2007 I ran into a number of problems with sending and recieving emails via Outlook 2007. I had imported the various email accounts from my previous Outlook 2003 (I have quite a few for the various websites and domains that I manage) and made sure all passwords and mail server details were correct.
The first issue I ran into had to do with the contsant barrage of popups that ask me for the password of each account. Now you can image my trouble with over 40 email accounts. And then when I try to test the mail setting of each account I get an error in the send portion.
So I tried to change the “Outgoing server” tab of the settings for the email account as you see in the image below.
This time I got a different error message. So Changed the settings as shown below.
Still no luck. So finally I tried the option show below and it worked like magic. Now this setting works on for certain mail servers. For example I host with different companies for my different websites. This option worked for one perticular host but for another the option above this worked.
For changing settings for Yahoo mail account in Outlook 2007 try this help section.
