Outlook.com stopped connecting to my att.net POP3 mail as Thursday, 10/24. I have a ssbcglobal.net email account and an att.net email account that are no longer being refreshed in Outlook.com. 

I was able to see my mail on my iPhone via my hotmail.com account, but that now does not work.  I deleted the hotmail.com account from the iPhone and created new entries for each account separately.  The accounts created on the iPhone successfully connected to email server, but the server and port combination is different than what is allowed in Outlook.com.  The incoming mail server to which the iPhone connects is imap.mail.yahoo.com.  It uses SSL and the port number is 993.  I do not know the outgoing mail server settings.

Outlook.com defaults the incoming mail server to inbound.att.net and port number to 995. The server name can be changed, of course, but the only options for port numbers are 110 and 995.  Is there any way to override the available port number options so that I can try to connect to imap.mail.yahoo.com?


Thanks, Rick
