I am running outlook 2003 SP3 under XP professional 5.1 SP3 using windows firewall and norton 360 antivirus etc. Can I see an events log to find out if the firewall is blocking my mail?
I tried changing ports as i read this might be the problem - my incoming mail severs were all set to port 110 and SSL off - I tried - 465 and ssl the outllook "test account settings" seemed to work , however after the port is set to 995 BUT the END RESULT IS I AM GETTING MAIL - we are having similar issues with GOOGLE Mail outbound ahd bave tried using 465 with SSL and it seemed to fix it for afew days then failed again..

.. thanks for reading - hope it might be useful to you - let us know if you understand why it happens...
