New entries | CodeUltimate usability test: change your SMTP port
Ever wonder how much the vendor of your mail client cares about usability? Then try and change the SMTP port.
Outlook is horrible. Hidden behind a cascade of dialogs and inside a wizard.
Apple Mail is even worse. Note the hidden button inside a drop down (yuck!).
Thunderbird just requires 3 clicks.
All of them have in common that the setting is separated from your incoming (IMAP, POP3) account settings. While technically correct, this is not where I would look first.
