Howdy all,

Does anyone know which UDP ports MS Outlook uses as default?

Thanks!

Outlook shouldnt use any UDP ports. Depending on what type of mail server you are conncecting to it will be (all TCP) 25/SMTP 110/POP3 for SMTP/POP3 and 143/IMAP if you are using IMAP. Now, if you are connecting to an Exchange server it will be all the normal Windows ports.

/edit: corrected IMAP port

Hmm, that is interesting. Maybe I was confused, but I thought TCP was for circuits and UDP was fire snd forget. Anyhow I will try 143 and see if I can get to the exchange server now.

Thanks!

TCP is connection oriented, meaning that the sender knows if the recipient gets it, if not he resends it. 99% of the internet works this way.

UDP is closer to "spray and pray" you fire off the packet(s) and hope it gets there, if it doesnt the sender will never know. The most common UDP service is DNS and TFTP.

If you are connecting to it as an Exchange server and not as an IMAP/POP server there are a whole host of ports. The list is far too long to post here, but here is the link from MS http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=278339 and it appears there may be some UDP in there.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
