subject: A Brief Idea about Email Servers and Ports to Resolve E-Mail Issues [print this page] Don't have any idea about SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol? SMTP is a protocol or in other words it is a set of rules by which a mail is sent to the receiver's domain. It generally uses port number 25(Twenty-five) if you do not change it to a different one in case of some email client that you might be using. Try to unblock that port if you see that it is blocked by the firewall you are using. You should also check for existing viruses and Trojans with the help of the tools used by technicians. Your on-line technician might actually go for manual virus removal or checking the connectivity between your computer and router and external to the router as well to the website that you are trying to open. Well it might end up in taking a backup of your mails and then reinstalling the AOL mail software in your computer once again. Do not try to do it by yourself if you have the option of getting help from your on-line technician.
