Given that in v8.0, *Tools* pulldown leads to *Options* and *Servers
and Accounts* etc., look within your *Options* for clues.

v1.93... 20 years olde... yikes!

The Agent 1.93 port settings are in the INI file, as described in the
Agent 1.93 help file at: Help >> Index >> .INI file >> [Servers]

Alternate ports are most always for SSL, but Agent 1.93 does not do SSL.
When not using SSL, the default ports are almost always the right ones.

[Servers]

NNTPPort=119
This setting controls the port to use for connecting to the
NNTP news server. When this value is the standard news server
port number (119), Agent first asks the winsock driver for
the port number to use. If that call (getservbyname) fails,
Agent then tries to use this port number. When this value is
*not* the standard news server port number, Agent uses it
instead of the asking the winsock driver for the port number
to use.

SMTPPort=25
This setting controls the port to use for connecting to the
SMTP email server. When this value is the standard email
server port number (25), Agent first asks the winsock driver
for the port number to use. If that call (getservbyname)
fails, Agent then tries to use this port number. When this
value is *not* the standard email server port number, Agent
uses it instead of the asking the winsock driver for the port
number to use.

POPPort=110
This setting controls the port to use for connecting to the
POP server. When this value is the standard POP server port
number (110), Agent first asks the winsock driver for the port
number to use. If that call (getservbyname) fails, Agent then
tries to use this port number. When this value is *not* the
standard email server port number, Agent uses it instead of
the asking the winsock driver for the port number to use.
