Hotmail smtp 2015
A blast from the past!
In 2015, the default SMTP settings for Hotmail were:
- Server:
smtp.live.com - Port:
587 - Encryption:
TLS - Username: Your Hotmail email address (e.g.,
[email protected]) - Password: Your Hotmail email password
Note that these settings may have changed since 2015, and it's always a good idea to check with Microsoft's official documentation or your email provider for the most up-to-date settings.
Additionally, in 2015, Microsoft introduced a new authentication method called OAuth 2.0, which replaced the traditional username and password authentication. If you're using OAuth 2.0, you'll need to use a different set of settings, which can be found in the Microsoft documentation.
Here's a summary of the changes:
- Before 2015:
smtp.live.comwith username and password - 2015 and later:
smtp.live.comwith OAuth 2.0 authentication
Keep in mind that these settings are subject to change, and it's always a good idea to check with Microsoft or your email provider for the most up-to-date information.
