Hotmail smtp settings 2014

Here are the SMTP settings for Hotmail (now Outlook.com) in 2014:

SMTP Server:

• Server: smtp.outlook.com (or smtp.live.com for older accounts)
• Port: 587 (or 25 for older accounts)

Authentication:

• Username: Your full Hotmail email address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Hotmail account password

Encryption:

• TLS (Transport Layer Security) is recommended for encryption

Other settings:

• Authentication method: Use the same username and password as your Hotmail account
• Require TLS: Yes (recommended)
• Use the following authentication settings:
  • Authentication type: Plain text
  • Authentication username: Your full Hotmail email address
  • Authentication password: Your Hotmail account password

Important notes:

• Hotmail (now Outlook.com) uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, so you may need to use a third-party library or tool that supports OAuth 2.0 to connect to the SMTP server.
• If you're using an older account, you may need to use the smtp.live.com server instead of smtp.outlook.com.
• Hotmail's SMTP server may block or limit the number of emails you can send per hour or day, depending on your account type and usage.

Please note that these settings may have changed since 2014, and it's always a good idea to check the official Microsoft documentation or your email provider's website for the most up-to-date information.
