See this thread:

I am glad to hear that it's been resolved!

Just in case anyone else would like to know, for an @afrihost.co.za email address you will use the following settings:

POP3 Server: dslmail.afrihost.co.za
SMTP Server: smtp.afrihost.co.za

The email address and password will be the details that we list in your ClientZone profile.

These settings shouldn't change for any mail client. What error are you getting?

Tnx it is fixed. I followed info according to website. This did not work out for me.

Contacted Afrihost and they told me what to use. Worked for Outlook 2010.
But not for Outlook 2016. So they fixed it remotely yesterday.

Really glad to hear you managed to get it configured! Do you know what settings had to be changed on your side?

For Outlook 2010 on SMPT was not Port:25 but changed it to 587.
The rest stayed the same.
