Hi all,

Ok, so I've set up a custom domain on Outlook.com and activated the user account in question.

I know I can set up the account in Outlook 2013 as "Outlook.com or Exchange ActiveSync" using m.hotmail.com as the server, but I would rather set it up as POP / SMTP since then it can go into my existing PST and that way I can also continue to use a single calendar in Outlook 2013.

However, I simply cannot get SMTP to work. POP3 works fine (pop3.live.com, Port 995 with SSL)

But SMTP never works. Everything I've seen says to use port 587 with TLS using smtp.live.com, but that doesn't work. In fact, I have tried every combination of the following ports and security settings and none of them work:

Ports:
25, 465, 587
Security:
None, SSL, TLS

Has anybody gotten this to work, and if so, what's the secret?

Thanks in advance!

LZ
