Hi GabeU,   Thanks for the suggestions.  I think you're right about migrating everything to another provider.  I already have a Protonmail account and will check out your Thunderbird idea, too. The other benefit will be not having emails kicked back after a week or two because of the Hughesnet spam reputation.     I appreciate your help! ... View more

Hi Maratsade, Thank you for checking in with me and so quickly!  I can access my email for one email account from this page (the account I logged into for this site) and log into all three email accounts through the my.hughesnet.com page. On one of the webmail accounts, if I send an email to myself, it doesn't show up on the webmail but comes in to the Mac.  It is also slower mailing out than the other two accounts. ... View more

I can't access email from my pc (error message) or my Mac mail.  Several months ago, I started having problems with sent emails from one of three hughesnet email accounts on my Mac (I haven't used email on the pc for a year). I used Liz's advice to change the outgoing port from 25.  The problem seemed to resolve for awhile but then I could only send email out with one of three hughesnet emails, still receiving email for all three accounts.     Last week I found the thread that maratsade posted in this thread, but couldn't get anything to work.  The Mac server settings stopped saving new inputs and can't verify my account/password. I tried the suggestion from Liz to reset my password, but could not on my primary email account, so I thought it must be the problem. I called hughesnet on saturday and the tech person changed my password, verified I could use Hughesnet webmail, and suggested I try changing my outgoing account name from hughes.net to smtp.hughes.net.  This took all accounts offline.  I can't email out on any account and now I don't receive email from the account with the new password. He was not able to help me further, and told me I need to contact Apple. When I tried to reset my password again yesterday, I could not.  I spoke to a hughesnet tech person tonight, but of course the password change function was working.  I asked for help with my Mac mail and he said there was no way he could help because it isn't a hughesnet problem.  I told him I also can't access email on my pc laptop, but again, he couldn't help me. Both tech people told me hughesnet had made changes to the email system last fall. I can email out and receive from all three hughesnet webmail accounts.   I would gladly call apple for assistance, but I spent 2 1/2 hours with them when I first switched to apple and they couldn't help me.  I had already tried Hughesnet two times for help and they couldn't help.  The third try with hughesnet I lucked out with a delightful man that had a friend with a Mac and they were able to get me up and running.  I also use Protonmail, but could not send email out for a day with them the last week in December.             ...
