Try port 465 to send to smtp.hughes.net; port 995 to receive from mail.hughes.net.
I also assume you meant 'SSL on' instead of 'SSL no', as I think the new email requires SSL.
- I tried that earlier today, no good, still fails. SSL is set to no, Per HN Tech. Support. I can send mail from Hughes web mail but not from Outlook. And, I can receive mail in Outlook. Thanks for your time and response.
Those ports should only be valid if SSL is on, and quite frankly, not sure why they would tell you otherwise.
Few email services are operating with non-SSL email access (for good reason), and Hughes recently moved theirs from Senacor to someone who uses Oracle Cloud. Tech Support likely didn't get the memo.
- OK, port 995 SSL = yes Port 465 = yes This fixed the problem. All is right with the world. I used these ports this morning but did not enable SSL, again, per HN. I am a happy person and I thank you for your time and help. Now, to get back to HN tech support and tell them how to fix the problem! Paul
