SMTP mailer - have copy in sent folder on server? Port refusal.

[Jfish]

This may be a dumb question but ...

I am currently using the ">Smtp Mailer That Supports Html And Attachments" by Jos (thank you Jos - cool script) to send emails from my script.  I am trying to ensure that a copy of the sent email gets saved to the server so you can see it in the sent folder.   I am using an account hosted by 1and1 for the email but am not on their Exchange server.  A copy does get saved to the sent folder when I do it from my phone.  The phone uses SSL (as does the script).  The only difference (and I assume it is important) is  the phone uses port 587 for SMTP.  This port is refused by the script which, as a result, uses 465 instead to send.   Is there any way to use that port 587 from the script?  Alternatively, is  there something else I should be doing?

Any help would be appreciated.

Happy holidays,

Are you marking ssl as true?

[Jfish]

I have

$ssl=1

Which I thought meant to use it.  Should it literally say "true"?

Edit: "true" does not work either :-( 

"Error Code 2: Description: The transport failed to connect to the server" - is what I get when I use port 587

Your phone APP makes the copy into the SendItems, like Outlook does in Windows.

The actual SMTP sending of the email via your gmail account only send the it.

@Jos - thanks for the clarification on that.  Is there anywhere I can look to figure out how to make a copy into the SendItems so I can see it on in my webmail client OR does that require the use of a local client to send the message - meaning it is not possible from the script (which was suggested on another forum when I Googled "CDO.Message" and "SendItems")?

I am not aware but haven't researched it. You could always CC or BCC yourself so you have a copy in your inbox.

@Jos -  Yes, I have been using the BCC.  It is an application for my wife for her business.  I should have said "don't delete those"  because of course she did so I was just looking for an easy way to save them.  I think I may create another mailbox and BCC that one also for a comprehensive set of emails as a work around.

Try this.

Just wondering: How would that help creating an entry of the send messages in your Send Items folder or did I miss something?

@mLipok -

I may be mistaken but that appears to keep a copy of the email as a file locally.  Is that right?  If so, while useful, it is not really what I was looking for.  I was trying to find a way to store it back to the email account on the SMTP server so that it could be accessed from anywhere (as in what happens when you use your phone to send email).
