Microsoft hotmail smtp
Microsoft Hotmail SMTP settings are used to send emails from a Hotmail account using a third-party email client or application. Here are the standard SMTP settings for Hotmail:
SMTP Server:
- Server name: smtp-mail.outlook.com
- Port: 587
- Encryption: TLS or SSL
- Authentication: Yes, use your Hotmail email address and password
Note: If you're using a third-party email client or application, you may need to use the following settings:
- Server name: outlook.office365.com
- Port: 587
- Encryption: TLS
- Authentication: Yes, use your Hotmail email address and password
Additional settings:
- Username: Your Hotmail email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@hotmail.com)
- Password: Your Hotmail account password
- From address: Your Hotmail email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@hotmail.com)
- Reply-to address: Your Hotmail email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@hotmail.com)
Troubleshooting tips:
- Make sure your Hotmail account is set up correctly and you're using the correct login credentials.
- Check that your email client or application is configured to use the correct SMTP server and port.
- If you're using a firewall or antivirus software, ensure that it's not blocking the SMTP connection.
- If you're still having issues, try resetting your Hotmail account password or contacting Microsoft support for assistance.
Important notes:
- Hotmail has been rebranded as Outlook.com, and the SMTP settings may have changed. If you're using an older version of the Hotmail SMTP settings, you may need to update them to use the new Outlook.com settings.
- Microsoft has deprecated the use of the old Hotmail SMTP settings (smtp.hotmail.com and smtp.live.com) and recommends using the new Outlook.com SMTP settings (smtp-mail.outlook.com) instead.
- If you're using a third-party email client or application, you may need to check with the developer or manufacturer for specific instructions on how to configure the SMTP settings for Hotmail or Outlook.com.
