To set up your Outlook email account for sending messages, you should use the following SMTP settings:

  • Server Address: smtp-mail.outlook.com

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

  • Password: Your Outlook password

  • Port Number: 587 (With TLS)

  • Alternative Port Number: 25 (Without TLS/SSL)

  • Sending Limits: 300 Emails a day or 100 recipients a day.

These settings are crucial when configuring your email client or application to send messages via your Outlook email account. You can choose between port 587 with TLS or port 25 without TLS/SSL, depending on your security and email client requirements.

For Outlook users on Mac 2011, here are the SMTP settings:

  • Outgoing Server Address: mail.live.com

  • Port Number: 587

  • Ensure you check these options: 'Override default port' and 'Use SSL to connect.'

  • In the Authentication drop-down box, select 'Use Incoming Server Info.'

  • Click OK.

  • Close the Accounts window.

Once you've set up these SMTP settings, you can create a new email and test sending it to yourself or another recipient.

Configuring your email settings correctly ensures that your Outlook account functions smoothly for sending and receiving emails.
