Hello, I would love to use SMTP but first of all I am on a dynamic IP it
doesn't ever change. I have had the same one for over 2 years. Secondly my
isp blocks port 25. I guess I am kinda stuck with POP3 Connection that never
says anything else except "Stopping....." Damn that drives me crazy. I have
tried everything to resolve that. Well I would hate to use a third party app
to pop, when ms has one built in for Exchange. Any help would be really cool.
Thanks
