Mail Clients: Common Email Port and Issues

obie — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:13:00 GMT

Server Type	Server Name	Port
POP3	pop.tennk12.net	110
IMAP	imap.tennk12.net	143
SMTP	smtp.tennk12.net	25 or 587
POP3 with SSL	secure.tennk12.net	995
IMAP with SSL	secure.tennk12.net	993
SMTP with SSL	secure.tennk12.net	465 or 587

If you are hosting email with us, the ports are the same but the servername may change based on your DNS settings.

there are 2 common mistakes when configuring email:

1) the username provided should be the full email address (obie@tennk12.net) not just the mailbox name (obie)

2) outgoing mail requires authentication and most applications allow you to specified to "use the same as incoming"

A weblog (blog) is an online journal you can use to share thoughts, ideas, gripes, project status, or anything else you want. Blogs allow you to be a contributor rather than just a bystander.

Postings are arranged chronologically and can be categorized depending upon how the administrator has configured the system. You can view a post by clicking on the title from the home page where all users' posts are collectively shown. Once viewing a blog you can read other posts by that person or provide comments on postings.

Creating new posts is quick and easy. If you have the ability to post you should see a link (usually on the left) on your weblog's home page: new post. Clicking on this link takes you into your blogs administration pages for creating new posts.

If you don't have the ability to post, contact the site administrator and ask for your own blog.

Happy Blogging!
