How To Open Port 25

Check out Windows 7 Ultimate Guide
In Windows XP, we can manually open port 25 for pop3 for retrieving email and port 110 for smtp server or sending email. But, some ISP blocked port 25 and port 110 as a security measure and other reasons.
However, we may open the port 25 and port 110 manually if required. By default, most 3rd party software such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express, has already open port 25 and port 110.

To check whether the port is open or closed, follow the instructions below:
1. Goto Start,Run.
2. type; telnet your email server 25
3. It should show Connecting to your email server...
4. If its connected, it will show +OK pop300 bla bla bla .......
5. If not the connection is failed...

To manually open the port:
1. Goto Start,Control Panel.
2. Open Windows Firewall.
3. Click Exceptions Tabs.
4. Click Add Port.
5. At Name Column, Type the name of your email server.
6. At Port Column, Type number 25.
7. Click Apply, Ok, then exit...

Now the port is open... Good Luck
