Thanks for messaging back Edward. <br><br>Doing a search again for smtp server settings and inputting port 587 in the advanced section of account preferences AND this time leaving it check-marked, I can now send outgoing mail. I believe I input this port number before but it seems I didn't leave it checked.<br>
<br>Seems strange that Kmail could use the default port 25 without problems yet Claws-mail could not. Anyway, I'm a happy camper. <br><br>Issue is solved.<br><br>Thanks again.<br>
