Use an alternate SMTP port with Mail.app
Authored by: Jazzer101 on Jul 21, '10 11:31:03AM
This is a little bit unnecessary. You can change the outgoing SMTP port in Mail.app's preferences - it's just a bit hidden: preferences > accounts > account information > outgoing mail server (stmp) select "edit smtp server list" from the drop down select the relevant server click the "advanced" button check "use custom port" type the desired port number click "ok" exit preferences - remembering to save your new settings on your way out NB: This tip can also be used to 'force' mail to use port 465 if you're suffering from the "slow Gmail IMAP in Mail.app problem".
