Inside attbi POP and SMTP work as usual (PORT 110 & 25) but you may run SSL if you want. Outside attbi PORT 110 & 25 are blocked, so you must use SSL for SMTP (PORT 465) and SSL for POP (PORT 995). This is easy to setup and makes your email that much more secure.

Note: You are not allowed to send mail as anyone else than what you logged in as. If you logged into the server with johndoe@attbi.com then your "From:" must be johndoe@attbi.com

If you want to have them reply to a different address make sure you put a "Reply-to:" in the account, or message.

Here is the set-up to access the attbi POP server from outside their network:

Servers tab screen:

Incoming mail server (POP3): mail.attbi.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): mail.attbi.com
Account name: xxxx@attbi.com (xxxx is the ATTBI user name - MUST include @attbi.com in Account name)
Password: yyyy (yyyy is the ATTBI user password)
Log on using Secure Password Authentication: Not checked
My server requires Authentication: Checked

Advanced tab screen:

Outgoing mail (SMTP): 465
This server requires a secure connection (SSL): Checked
Incoming mail (POP3): 995
This server requires a secure connection (SSL): Checked

You can also set up your home computer's email client to run this way but it is not necessary to do so as you can get to port 110 for POP while on their network.
