Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / September 2005Juno.com problems and problems changing port numbers in Eudora/Outlook CE
JW you were right and I did cancel Juno today. They may be good for many, but not me. It was tough canceling and it took one hour of arguing with the reps who finally cancelled my account after I yelled a little and thretened to dispute their charge. I hate being mean, but I dont like people who refuse to honor my requests. The problem I am having FEW IF ANY WILL UNDERSTAND is that my Internet is barebones provided via wifi only and without any email or newsgroups. I did sign up for newsfeeds.com however for newsgroups access. For pop3/SMTP email I am at a loss. Runbox.com looks preety nice, but the only problem is that my ISP for some reason blocks port 25 so I cannot send email. Eudora 4.2 for Mac and for Windows do not seem to "EASILY" support changing the port numbers. If worse comes to worse I can use Outlook Express for Windows which allows port number changes, but I'd rather stay with Eudora at all costs. On top of this Pocket Outlook CE does not support changing the port numbers. I did try smtp.runbox.com:26 and it did not work. Perhaps someone knows where to go in the Windows registry to find the port numbers. I hate being limited to webmail and aol.

I can't say anything useful about the Windows version, but Eudora's "Esoteric Settings" plug-in (part of the standard Mac distribution, but turned off by default I believe) provides a "Ports & Protocols" pane in the settings dialog that lets you pick any port you like. It has been available for as long as there has been a paid version of Eudora and maybe longer... > On top of this Pocket Outlook CE does not support changing the port numbers. > I did try smtp.runbox.com:26 and it did not work. Port 26 would be a rather unusual and non-standard place to put an alternate port talking SMTP. There is a defined standard for a limited subset of SMTP suitable for initial mail submission (sometimes referred to as the "SUBMIT" protocol) running on port 587. The idiots in Redmond misused port 465 for a while for SMTP with SSL wrapping it, but no one competent followed their lead. If a mail client can't use port 587, it is either ancient or written by incompetents and should be dropped completely. > Perhaps someone knows where to go in the Windows registry to find the port > numbers. Maybe so, but I surely couldn't help there. If you're only using MS crapware, why did you post your article to the Mac Eudora group??? FWIW, I don't think Windows Eudora uses the registry for its settings. Qualcomm has usually been smarter than that.

I did >sign up for newsfeeds.com however for newsgroups access. Why not try Hotmail or Yahoo, BJ? Either is free, and you don't need to install any s/w on your computer, so there are not conflicts in that regard. You also end up being able to store some 10 MB of mail on their servers. It's a "win-win.' At LEAST give it a try. I have been with Yahoo for some 5 years now, and the only problem I've had besides some jerk in here canceling 3 of my mail boxes is the excessive SPAM. But I have a dozen filters set, which has cut down on the SPAM a lot. >For pop3/SMTP email I am at a loss. From my limited understanding of the issues, both Yahoo and Hotmail do both. Runbox.com looks preety nice, but the >only problem is that my ISP for some reason blocks port 25 so I cannot send >email. Eudora 4.2 for Mac and for Windows do not seem to "EASILY" support >changing the port numbers. In my opinion, you are making a MAJOR mistake trying to run an e-mail client from your computer. Suppose your computer dies, gets lost or gets stolen? All 3 have happened to me. With an on-your computer client, your e-mail is "bye bye". Frankly, BJ, you don't seem to be one who approaches computing or webbing with any common sense. If worse comes to worse I can use Outlook Express >for Windows which allows port number changes, but I'd rather stay with Eudora >at all costs. If you want to "stay with Eudora at all costs", then stop bitching. You are describing the price tag. Nothing but problems. >On top of this Pocket Outlook CE does not support changing the port numbers. >I did try smtp.runbox.com:26 and it did not work. What did I tell you? I told you your 2 problems were: 1. Juno 2. running a client on your computer. >Perhaps someone knows where to go in the Windows registry to find the port >numbers. > >I hate being limited to webmail and aol. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz And why on EARTH are you messing with AOL? Talk about filtered access!!! Do you understand that -- with AOL -- you may as well have Bill Gates looking over your shoulder. Both Microsoft MSN access (ISP) and AOL provide you with something like 1/10000000 th of the access that's out there? With AOL, you most certainly will not have access to Usenet. As I said before, go with Earthlink or AT & T and Yahoo or Hotmail. ALL your problems are thereby solved. God bless! john w >John > JW you were right and I did cancel Juno today.

Then you do indeed have newsgroups. So yes, few will understand how you can be posting to a newsgroup and not have access to it. > For pop3/SMTP email I am at a loss.

A simple web search would have told you why port 25 is being blocked. It is not "for some reason" and is very common. |
