Cannot send emails on wifi

Hi, I have Telus Hub wifi and use Shaw email. All worked fine for years until last week; now my Outlook and Samsung apps receive, but cannot send, emails over wifi. It works fine when on Bell mobile network, and webmail works also. I contacted Shaw, but they have been unable to find a problem, all server settings are good, and they say Telus must be blocking outgoing emails. Any ideas?

Problem solved!! Must have been blocked IP? I left it I unplugged overnight, for about 9 hours, and this morning its working. Question - could a 9 hour power outage (think Oct 9) have caused this??

It's possible. If the power outage coincided with an app update or device reset that reverted your email app's SMTP settings to a default config (which would be Port 25), or if there was a momentary glitch during the power cycle, the app may have lost its specific secure port config and again reverted to a standard, blocked port.

 

Regardless, glad to hear it's working now, but please do let us know if it acts up again.

Could be blocked ports on your network. Have you tried looking into the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) settings in your Outlook and Samsung email apps? One option would be to try Port 587 which is the modern standard for secure outgoing mail.

Already checked app port and SSL, TSL settings - all as per Shaw standard, including port 587 and 993. Plus it all works on cell network. From searching, sounding likely Telus blocking something - port blocked, IP compromised??
