How do i change smtp outgoing in windows 10 mail

To change the SMTP outgoing settings in Windows 10 Mail, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Mail app: You can find the Mail app on your Start menu or in the Search bar.
  2. Click on the gear icon: In the top right corner of the Mail app, click on the gear icon to open the Settings menu.
  3. Click on "Accounts": In the Settings menu, click on "Accounts" to open the Accounts settings page.
  4. Select the account you want to change: In the Accounts settings page, select the email account you want to change the SMTP settings for.
  5. Click on "Manage": Click on the "Manage" button next to the account you selected.
  6. Click on "Outgoing server": In the Manage account settings page, click on the "Outgoing server" tab.
  7. Enter the new SMTP settings: In the Outgoing server tab, enter the following information:
    • Server: Enter the name of your SMTP server (e.g. smtp.gmail.com, smtp.outlook.com, etc.).
    • Port: Enter the port number used by your SMTP server (e.g. 587, 25, etc.).
    • Authentication: Select the authentication method used by your SMTP server (e.g. username and password, OAuth, etc.).
    • Username: Enter your email address or username.
    • Password: Enter your email password.
  8. Click "Save": Click the "Save" button to save the changes to your SMTP settings.

Note: If you're using a Gmail account, you may need to enable "Less secure app access" in your Google Account settings to allow Windows 10 Mail to connect to your account. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings, clicking on "Security," and then toggling the switch next to "Less secure app access" to the "On" position.

Also, if you're using a 2-factor authentication (2FA) enabled account, you may need to generate an App Password and use it instead of your regular password.

After changing the SMTP settings, try sending an email to test the connection. If you encounter any issues, you may need to check your email provider's documentation for specific settings or contact their support team for assistance.
