Please note the important though hidden information that can be made visible by clicking on the blue info button between the text fields “SMTP server” and “SMTP port”:
"You can specify address of your own private or corporate SMTP server or can use one of the well-known web services. Note that web services providers can restrict a number of e-mail messages per day as well as require special account setup, like "Less secure apps access" for Google. Please refer to support or KB articles of corresponding web service provider for more info. Use "Implicit SSL/TLS" for port 465, "Opportunistic SSL/TLS" for port 587"
Our software acts as an e.mail client when communicating directly with the SMTP server. Whereas popular e-mail clients such as Outlook or Thunderbird are known to the e-mail providers and therefore rated as trustworthy, this may not be the case for our software. Hence entering the correct credentials in the configuration mask of the Paragon program often does not suffice to complete the configruation. In addition, it is frequently necessary to reduce the security level in the customer account at your e-mail provider or take similar measures differing from provider to provider.
Please verify the configuration options of your e-mail account or contact the support of your eBitte prüfen Sie daher die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten Ihres E-Mail-Kontos und/oder wenden sich an den Support Ihres E-Mail-Providers.
Standard ports for SMTP:
without encryption: 25
SSL encryption: 465
TLS encryption: 587
However, this port mapping is strongly simplified and not inevitable. Please follow the specifications of your e-mail provider.
