How to Set Up SMTP for Email via Lycos Mail#

Lycos Mail can be configured to send emails via SMTP by using the following settings:

SMTP Server Details#

  • SMTP Server/Host: smtp.mail.lycos.com

  • SMTP Port: 25

Authentication Information#

  • SMTP User Name: Your Lycos email address (e.g., yourname@lycos.com).

  • SMTP Password: Your Lycos password.

Additional Information#

  • Port 25 is typically used for SMTP without encryption. If you encounter issues or require a secure connection, it’s advisable to check if Lycos supports alternative ports such as 587 with STARTTLS.

  • Ensure that your Lycos account permits SMTP access. Some providers may require you to enable this feature or authenticate your session differently for security purposes.
