What is the outgoing mail server for hotmail

The outgoing mail server for Hotmail (now Outlook.com) is:

• For POP3: smtp.outlook.com (port 587)
• For SMTP: smtp.outlook.com (port 587)

Note that you may need to use smtp-mail.outlook.com instead of smtp.outlook.com for some devices or email clients.

Also, make sure to use the following settings:

• Username: Your Outlook.com email address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Outlook.com email password
• Authentication: TLS or SSL (depending on the device or email client you're using)

Keep in mind that Hotmail/Outlook.com has some specific requirements for sending emails, such as:

• You need to enable less secure apps in your account settings to allow sending emails from third-party apps or devices.
• You may need to use an app password instead of your regular password for added security.

If you're having trouble setting up your email client or app, you can refer to Microsoft's official documentation or contact their support team for assistance.
