I'm using thunderbird, not outlook. Anyway, same thing happens on iphone.

All I want are the official smtp server, port, encryption and authentication settings for thunderbird and iphone.

I shouldn't have to use web portal to send messages.

That was my original setting. Let me try again.

edit: halleluiah, it works on the first port I tried, 587!

If only there was clear directive in AH support channels. I wasted a day with this **** with support telling me my email is cancelled then they have the cheek to ask me how else they can "assist" me as the end.

edit 2: if only my email didn't stop working all my itself (not for the first time either). It maybe time to move over to gmail or something. Who knows how long this legacy dsl mail account will work even though its been fine for more than a decade.

Thanks for your high IQ suggestion. I think you're the best person to ask this:

I have always not been able to send mail when away from wifi using vodacom. Any smtp server settings for vodacom when on the road?

That's what I've always had, port 25, never worked though. Although, my gut tells me that it did work once upon a time back in the day.

Do you have a AH email address?

No, I have my own domain hosted with Afrihost. R39 a month. Domain renewal R97 a year. Less issues as this has dedicated Smtp settings that does not need changing depending on what internet connection I am using at the time.

Signing up domain email you get the domain registration free for the 1st year.

Do this and forward your dslmail to it and update your contacts as you go along.

Yeah, I'm a jack of all trades master of none. All I need is gran/gramps version of email and I'm happy.

That's what i've been using perfectly since my 4mb adsl days, then yesterday, I get an error.
 
@Afrigirl

We are still waiting for feedback from Openserve. They have logged a ticket with their vendor Nokia to see why certain L2TP LAC tunnels drop once we convert our realms to the L2TP option.

As for our new BNG's we have a few tickets open with the vendor to iron out some minor bugs and they are working on a release for us.

Currently I'm running my Metro Fibre 1Gbps line on the new BNG on PPPoE to see how it goes. So far been pretty stable even on nat v4 and v6 /56 prefix
