Hello Omar. XMPP leverages dynamic ports to facilitate the chat connection once the initial connection completes, and when used in webmail, relies on a SignalR connection between your web browser and the server itself. So, a lot of the time we see security software, web application firewalls, antivirus applications, etc affecting this. Can you try opening your browser's Developer Tools>Console area, then log in to SmarterMail and attempt a chat for me? What do you see in the console there?
