[Outlook] Outlook.com SMTP INFOMorning;
I just added a Outlook.com email address (IMAP) and downloaded the MS add on to enable it to work with outlook 2007. It all work as it should. But I also have mail washer and I need to find the SMTP info so it will filter the mail. I am using firefox and after logging in to my OL.com account and going to settings, the server setting are not listed. Any help would be welcomed. |

I using these settings with Outlook 2010:
Hotmail Help & How-to If youd like to manage your Hotmail account using an email app, youll need to set up your POP3 or SMTP server and port settings in your email app. Youll need the following info: POP3 server: pop3.live.com (port 995) SMTP server: smtp.live.com (port 25)
Note If port 25 has been blocked in your network or by your ISP, you can set the SMTP port to 587 with TLS or SSL Encryption (depending on which email app you're using). Choose the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) option for both POP3 and SMTP connections. Choose the SMTP authentication for SMTP connections. Choose the outgoing server requires authentication option. (In most email apps, this option isn't checked by default.) User name: Enter your full email address. Password: Enter your Microsoft account password. If you dont want email messages to be permanently deleted from your inbox after you download them to your mail program, select the Leave a copy of messages on the server option. |

Are you using the Outlook connector with your desktop email client. Everything I've read states that the connector must be downloaded and installed in order to use an email client. |

No, I just manually configured it via Outlook menu options like any other pop3 config. |

Yes i am I, there is no problem with the functioning of outlook and Outlook.com. I am having trouble configuring mail washer to work with it I tried the above SMTP setting in mail washer and no joy. |

See if you don't have a NEW folder with inbox et al underneath your other accounts. Look on left side tree structure. Mine created a folder named after my Outlook.com account. Double click to open. |

Double click to open. If you have a new folder for that inbox in the tree structure to the left, sounds like you set yours up as IMAP. I've never added a new pop account in outlook and had it create a separate inbox......only seen that happen for IMAP. |

I see nothing in writing that allows a person to just manually configure outlook on a pc and it will work without also using the connector. I've tried numerous times and it sends email fine, just will not receive. Here is the MS article - » support.microsoft.com/kb/2735989 |

»support.microsoft.com/kb/2735989 I installed the connector and now my desktop outlook is sending and receiving fine without any issues. It DID add an Outlook.com inbox and some other folders to the left hand tree within Outlook (desktop). Looking at the settings, it setup the account as MAPI. |

Mine is pop3, not IMAP. I'm out of ideas. Everything I've read says the connector is only necessary to get all the other features of Live or Outlook.com. Mine works fine, yes it looks like IMAP setup but I don't use IMAP, I pop3 and don't delete from server. Same effect for me. |

Can you post some screenshots of the settings for that account How did you get the extra inbox in your folder tree? That's what is puzzling to me if you are using a pop3 setup |

You asked about server settings for SMTP and that's where I started going, but admittedly got a little sidetracked. Sorry about that. After digging most of the day trying to solve my issue, I found this in regards to the connector vs manually configuring without the connector. Server settings are also shown..... » www.msoutlook.info/question/332 |

said by GuruGuy:Are you using the Outlook connector with your desktop email client. Everything I've read states that the connector must be downloaded and installed in order to use an email client. "Outlook Connector" is only necessary if you want the benefits of HTTPMail (uses the "DeltaSync" protocol). One of those benefits is access akin to IMAP. If you wish, you can use POP3/SMTP; but you can't download the folder structure of the account. POP3 is not designed for that level of access. |

I am having trouble configuring mail washer to work with it I tried the above SMTP setting in mail washer and no joy. It has been years since I evaluated MailWasher. Does it even need SMTP configured? I thought it downloaded headers for checks; and only worked with POP3 servers. I wouldn't expect it to work with the "Outlook Connector" because that uses "DeltaSync" instead of POP3. |

As to the need for SMTP info, the setup requested it and I went looking for it. Right now MW checks both my gmail and outlook.com accounts. That's really all I care about. |

That feature is a bad idea on at least two levels. Or is MW scanning outbound as well, and why? |

MW is not sending bounces (I disable that feature) The reason I was looking for the SMTP is MW now has a an Error reporting log that was alerting me to to an error. When the correct SMTP was added the error notification stopped. Look; thank you for your interest, but I have spent more time on this than it deserves and as far as I am concerned the issue is closed. Again thanks for all your input. VV |
