Hotmail smtp settings 2017

Here are the SMTP settings for Hotmail (now Outlook.com) in 2017:

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
• SMTP authentication: Required
• SMTP timeout: 30 seconds (or adjust to your liking)

Notes:

• Make sure to use the correct SMTP server and port for your region. If you're having trouble connecting, try switching to the alternative server and port: smtp-mail.outlook.com and 587.
• If you're using a third-party email client or app, you may need to configure the SMTP settings manually. Consult your 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 successfully.

Remember to update your SMTP settings if you encounter any issues or if Microsoft makes changes to their SMTP servers.
