How to Change SMTP port on your iPhone/iPad/iTouch

  2. touch/open "Mail, Contacts, Calendars".
  3. on accounts, choose the account you wish to change the port for.
  4. touch/open "account "
  5. touch/open "SMTP" under "outgoing mail server".
  6. touch/open your "primary server".
  7. on the bottom, touch/open "server port"
  8. change the port from "25" to "587".
  9. touch/open "done".
