.mac mail usinf the mail app

[IrishGhost]

How do I change a port on the mail server? I cannot connect the mail app to my mac account. Actually the mail app at all. It says cannot use port 143 and also 993 is the other option. But under account info I have port 25.
The others are under ssl. I have tried with ssl off & on but cannot connect
Any help?

maybe the port is blocked on tour firewall (or dsl/cable modem)?
maybe you put in the wrong password?

Well find out what ports the email server is using. Then open Mail and go to Mail's preferences. Click on the Accounts Tab and highlight (on the left side) your Account. Once you highlight it, click on the right side the 'Account Information' Tab. In the pane click on the tab for 'Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP):' and then click 'Server Settings' tab. Once in there put in the approved ports for the email SMTP server and if the password/username email server settings, if the email sever needs those.
