Change outgoing SMTP port?

[VegasGuy]

I have a new X50v so I am still learning. I can receive inbound email from our company email server via the Internet, but I cannot send. The email server docs say to set the outgoing mail SMTP port to 587 and set the authentication to Yes. I have set the authentication, but I cannot find a place to set the port under Messaging Account Options. Is there a way to set the outgoing port?

You set in the outgoing mailserver field:

smtp.gmail.com:587

This is just an example . . .

Thank you wooch! Adding the ":587" to the mail server worked like a charm. Can you tell me where I would have been able to read that information? I don't see it in the Axim manual.

ROFL No, that's not in the Axim manual, and there's really not much in the Axim manual. Consider this site as the best Axim manual you will ever find. I actually saw that here on Axim site. Glad this did the trick :approve:
