Note: Standard SMTP Ports are 25 or 587 (Wikipedia)
- Many organizations / universities block outgoing traffic to port 25 by their firewall. This means you can't send mails from you private notebook by using such a network (LAN or WLAN).
- To avoid these problem: configure port 587 or 2525.
Configuring an Account

Different 'Sent' folder: merge them!
- First check check, that the IMAP protocol is configured. The wrong alternative is POP, which doesn't support shared mail folders.
- Especially under MacOS X and iOS, it happens that the individual devices and email applications uses different 'Sent'-folder names like 'Sent', 'Sent Messages', 'sent-mail', 'sent_messages', ...
- Best is to configure all devices/email-applications to use 'Sent' as the sent folder. The majority of all email applications use this name as the sent folder.
- If there are already multiple named 'sent...' folders:
Configure all of your email applications (=every device by it's own!) to use 'Sent' as the sent folder.
Move (best via https://mail.math.uzh.ch) all mails from the different 'sent...' folders to 'Sent'.
Delete all empty 'sent...' folders. This last step is important for future configuration of email applications/devices: during the setup of a new email applicaton/account, the app looks for existing 'sent' named folders.
