Help! I'm having trouble sending emails with Eudora with an Office365 email. I did the HERMES patch last year and things were fine until a couple weeks ago. The issue seems to be the outgoing SMTP port. It's been set to use 587 and has given TSLv1 since I did the patch last year. Hasn't been an issue but now emails aren't sent right away and I have to make several send attempts before it finally goes. I guess they've let TSLv1 slip through as it's gradually phased out but this won't be possible for me in a few days when our organization disallows TSLv1 for good. I've tried "Required, alternate port" for the SMTP server (port 465) but Eudora just hangs and doesn't send the email. Only port 587 with multiple attempts works for sending emails. Funny enough, the incoming IMAP port is 993 and I get TLSv1.2 no problem. I also have another pop-based gmail personality with Eudora and that yields TSLv1.2 no problem. So I believe the HERMES patch worked but what is going on with the SMTP server???
Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks much.

there is no exact way to fix the problem is its a hit and trial and some time it works and some time not, but after some hit and trail its working.
