Hotmail smtp settings 2016

Here are the SMTP settings for Hotmail (now Outlook.com) in 2016:

SMTP Server:

• Server: smtp.outlook.com
• Port: 587 (or 25 for non-SSL/TLS connections)

Authentication:

• Username: Your Outlook.com email address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Outlook.com email password

Encryption:

• SSL/TLS: STARTTLS (recommended)

Other settings:

• Authentication method: Plain Text or Login
• Require TLS: Yes (recommended)

Notes:

• Make sure to use the correct SMTP server and port for your region. If you're having trouble connecting, try using the smtp.office365.com server instead.
• If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to configure the SMTP settings manually. Consult your email client's documentation for more information.
• Hotmail/Outlook.com has strict security measures in place, so you may need to enable less secure apps or allow less secure connections to send emails.

Here's an example of how you might configure these settings in a popular email client:

Gmail:

1. Go to Settings > Accounts and Import > Send mail as.
2. Click on "Add another email address you own" and enter your Outlook.com email address.
3. Click on "Next" and then "Send verification".
4. In the "Send mail as" section, click on the "Edit" button next to "SMTP server".
5. Enter the SMTP server settings above and click "Save changes".

Outlook:

1. Go to File > Options > Advanced.
2. Click on "Edit" next to "Outgoing server".
3. Enter the SMTP server settings above and click "OK".

Thunderbird:

1. Go to Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server (SMTP).
2. Click on "Edit" next to "SMTP server".
3. Enter the SMTP server settings above and click "OK".

Remember to replace [email protected] with your actual Outlook.com email address and password.
