Yes they are all email ports. Do you directly connect to the internet from your computer or via a Router/Modem ? If you connect via the router/modem you will need to check on there for any port restrictions.

The port blocking and unblocking all occurs in the modem / router.

not true. ports can also be opened in firewalls. because all you are doing on the router is opening ports on its hardware firewall.

if you are using a router you will need to type the IP of the router into a browser (usually either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and configure it from there.
if you are using windows firewall you can go control panel-> windows firewall -> exceptions -> add port and enter them in there.
