Suddenlink is my ISP, since installing 60.8.0 update I can no longer send emails. Have checked the correct port is being used (587) for the SMPT server. I get an error message that can not connect to server. Any help will be great, I don't want to change to another email service.

There are several reports regardng the Suddenlink smtp server.

Try this:

  • Right click on mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'
  • In left pane scroll down and select 'Outgoing server (SMTP)'
  • Select/highlight the suddenlink outgoing smtp server name
  • Click on 'Edit' button
  • Change the Connection Security to SSL/TSL
  • Port should auto change to be 465
  • connection security now SSL/TLS
  • authentication method choose 'Normal Password'.
  • Click on 'OK'
