(Mine always have been.) Not necessarily, just very common. However, suddenlink seems to require the full e-mail address as well. https://help.suddenlink.com/knowledge/microsoft-outlook-set-your-suddenlink-email > I don't think suddenlink.net accepts mail; smtp.suddenlink.net does. > > I omit the port number 587 as it's the default.
