How to configure SMTP Authentication with Outlook
Express on a Mac
Outlook Express 5.02 has a bug in
SMTP authentication that appears in some installations.
If you don't have Outlook Express
5.02, you will need it. Click here to download a copy, and then
continue below to implement the SMTP authentication work-around.
1. Open Outlook Express and go to
the menu item Tools and choose
Accounts.
2. Next, select the account you need
to edit (i.e., an account that requires SMTP authentication).
If you have multiple accounts that require authentication, you
will need to edit them one at a time.
With the account name selected (highlighted),
click on Edit. This will open
the dialogue box shown below.
3. On the bottom of the page, you
will see Click here for advanced sending
options. Click on this link/button, and the additional
dialog box Advance Sending Options
will open. See below.
4. Now, put a check mark in the box
for SMTP server requires authentication.
Then, put a check mark in the box
for Log on using. See below.
5. Now, we're getting to the Work
Around part. The trick is to insert for the Account ID the username
at domain_name, but instead of using the @ character,
use the & character. See below.
Notice that I inserted, in the Advanced
sending options box only, username&comain_name.com.
