I have an email address @live.com and I am trying to set up my email in Outlook 2007. After playing around with the settings I have managed to get it to connect to the incoming server but it still won't connect to the outgoing server. I have the outgoing server listed as smtp-mail.outlook.com and I have tried using both port 25 and port 587 and I have tried both of these ports with both SSL and TLS and neither one works. Currently I am set up on port 587 with TLS and I am getting an error that says "Send test e-mail message: Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP)." This is pretty much the same error I keep getting regardless of my outgoing settings except when I tried to use SSL on port 25 it told me that my server or ISP, I don't remember, doesn't allow for this type of authentication method. Although I know my incoming server is set up with SSL and it works just fine. I have double checked my log ins and I have changed the connection setting so that my outgoing server uses the same log in information as my incoming server and my incoming server had no problem logging in. What am I doing wrong?
